Highlights

Hola! Como Estas. Feliz Navidad. Yep, you guessed it right. That’s Spanish. We are so excited to present you with our newest update - The Spanish Spell Checker

Artwork Flow comes bearing a slew of such high-value features as a Christmas gift that you wouldn’t be able to keep calm either.

Let’s see: Optional Checklists, Subscription and Usage Management, AI-powered Compliance Proofing, Portable E-signatures and many more. Very exciting times indeed!

Did you see our Winter Release ’22 yet?

We have made major headway with a lot of utility and experience-based features in this release. We would like to thank our dear customers for the continuous support and feedback which enables us to ideate better and deliver even better.

Let's dive into it then.

We have worked on a variety of areas and refined the existing modules as well. Starting with the optional checklists.

Optional Checklists

In agreement to The Checklist Manifesto (oh yes, it's a whole volume on checklists), these are to-do lists which protect you from oversight. One of the oldest tool ever which remains relevant even today and will continue to do so forever. It breaks down all the complex information into easy, effective actions. Every big project can be easily streamlined into a smooth operation. With Artwork Flow, automated workflows and easy-to-configure checklists have always been the core value offering. This has saved innumerable man-hours for us all and helped us to focus on productivity in addition to accuracy and speed. Assigning the right checklists to the right group of people is of great significance.

Now, let's consider the context in Artwork Flow terms. We have a Project Manager who is tasked with creating a brilliant workflow including the right team members in respective teams at the right stage of the review process. These members are assigned specific checklist items for evaluating the standards and guidelines of any label design. These checklist items are, however, rigid and must-do tasks. This works well for most cases as they are a necessary compliance instrument. But in some cases, the checklist contains a few skippable or good-to-have checks, Our research tells us that this makes the evaluation and review even more powerful, since you can include a conditional logic to your processes. Hence, we wanted to introduce a flexible element to the current checklist module.

With optional checklists, the user will have the freedom to add more checklist items that could be "must-have" for some projects and "good-to-have" for some other ones.

Using the optional checklists, the project manager can now choose which of the checklist items have to be compulsorily checked by a reviewer and which ones should be optional. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select checklist items in the workflow templates as you normally do

2. Click on the flag next to a checklist item to make it optional
