SDZeCOM Workflow Utils extend the workflow functionality of Centric PXM™ with numerous additional options for action.
They provide a collection of practical function components that can be used for customizing workflows to individual business processes - without any programming.
This makes workflow management in Centric PXM™ significantly more flexible, powerful, and easier to configure.
1. What are Workflow Utils?
Workflow Utils are an extension of the standard workflow actions in Centric PXM™.
They supplement the existing functions with frequently required components that are not included in the standard version - e.g., starting Active Scripts, resolving MAM or product references, or advanced e-mail options.
This allows processes in the PIM system to be efficiently automated without the need for custom scripts or technical adjustments.
2. How does the solution work?
After installation, additional actions are available in the workflow configuration that can be used as standard workflow steps:
Active Script Starter: Start defined Active Scripts directly from the workflow.
References: Automatically resolve DAM or product references.
Smart Docs Integration: Select languages and multiple presets for automatic document generation.
Advanced e-mail actions: Additional recipient logic, CC/BCC options, or dynamic placeholders.
Other utility functions: Additional actions that make standard processes more efficient.
All extensions can be configured via the workflow interface—no programming required.
3. Which systems are supported?
Workflow Utils are compatible with:
4. Are there any technical requirements or dependencies?
No additional technical requirements are necessary.
5. What are the advantages of this solution?
Programming-free extension of workflow functionality
Direct use in workflow configuration without additional scripting knowledge
Advanced control options for e-mails, documents, and references
Automation of complex processes with just a few clicks
Seamless integration into existing processes
Time savings and lower maintenance costs thanks to configurable standard modules
6. What are some typical use cases?
Start an Active Script directly from a workflow step.
Automatically resolve MAM or product references, e.g., for further processing or quality assurance.
Automated document generation via Smart Docs with definable language and preset selections.
Advanced email communication, e.g., with multiple recipients, dynamic content, or attachments.
Combination of multiple utility actions in complex workflows without scripting
7. How is the solution used in Centric PXM™?
The new Workflow Utils actions automatically appear in the selection of workflow actions in the Centric PXM™ backend.
Administrators or power users can add, configure, and integrate them into existing processes just like any other workflow action.
This makes it easy to extend standard workflows with additional logic - for example, for data verification, document generation, or notification.
