"M/Workbench ... guides the user in a homogeneous graphical design environment through the entire process of creating and outputting documents, from analysing documents up to their release.
The results are reliability, flexibility and efficiency when designing templates."
M/Workbench Guide
"The Idea"
Designing Resources - easily and efficiently
The job is: to produce high quality customer communication controlled by transactions and output this in the correct layout, tailored to the individual needs of the customer and via the desired communication channel. The most diverse resources have to be provided in order to control this document process.
M/Workbench - the central Design Platform
For all document-oriented resources: design and layout of documents and forms, creating document templates, organising data provision, selecting output definitions etc.
M/Workbench aids the Designer
Organising, controlling and maintaining processes efficiently:
Basic functions
- Schedules for planning and monitoring tasks
- Well-structured administration of projects and central variable pool - data dictionary
- Proof of application for all resources – cross-references
- Store all resources in version administration systems such as sub-version, PVCS and the like
- Individual user views and perspectives (Eclipse)
- Extensive search functions
- Clear division of tasks between document designers in a specialist area and IT administrators, and much more
Designing documents and forms
- Process and modify templates in the WYSIWYG mode
- Modern graphic design tools
- Media library for graphics, image captions, fonts etc.
- Easily define logic for dynamic templates and rules-based document creation
- Debugging and code completion
- Assign data using drag & drop - data mapping
Output management administration
- State output media, channels and processes
- Set up output formats
- Define OMR markings, bar codes and data matrix codes
- Set parameters for successive systems such as the archive, print and mail lines, e-mail server etc.
- Control enclosures
Staging und deployment
- Distribute resources to test, QS or production environments
- Scheduled activation of resources during operation (hot deployment)

How to design user dialogues
Select, position and configure input fields and buttons; define and add a caption to input checks.
Designing forms is very simple
Select the graphic elements; define, position and configure the colours.
Modifying text modules in real time
You can do this directly in the test document via the editor. M/Workbench automatically enters the changes in the correct modules.
Data mapping using the mouse key
Simply drag the desired data from the source to the data model – that’s it.
Dynamic templates for dynamic document processes
You can also integrate and clearly structure logical conditions, loops, assignments and the like for dynamic document templates in Workbench.
