Web Services Admin
Web Services Admin is the location where administrators can register custom built web services or .NET objects that can be used to test or enforce business logic. From the Web Services area administrators can register and delete web service registrations with VisualVault.
Our customers have used Web Services for the following reasons:
-
Insure that correct data was entered on a form.
-
Complete custom processing against documents for maintenance purposes.
-
Schedule jobs to initiate notifications when forms are in certain states.
-
Calculate values based upon what a user entered on a form.
For more information on how to create a Web Service, look on our support web site for white papers on this topic.
