WEBcnx 2023.1 is out now bringing with it a host of new features and performance enhancements.
The latest release of WEBcnx, Arden’s project management software for packaging, is now available. Web-based platform WEBcnx integrates with Arden’s packaging CAD/CAM software Impact, as well as other workflow systems, acting as a virtual project manager, enabling customers to manage and streamline their operations from wherever they are in the world.
The latest release marks the first in their new approach to development methodology, moving away from bigger and more sporadic software releases, in favour of a series of smaller and more frequent updates, focussed on key areas of the software.
In line with customer expectations and modern software delivery cycles, this flexible development process aims to be more responsive to the changing needs of our customers.
WEBcnx 2023.1 has seen some significant updates to the remaining older areas of the admin tools to completely remove older, outdated user interface (UI) components.
Key updates in WEBcnx 2023.1 include the Standards Wizard, which has had a significant update and is a key component to the Design Library version of WEBcnx. This feature allows users to browse Impact’s entire catalogue of standards and create new designs from these within WEBcnx.
Also included is the User Management Feature, which now allows an administrator to assume the identity of another user. This is an important administrative feature to help resolve issues users may have while preserving security. A new main menu option allows those administrators to easily revert back to their own account and all logging now includes the name of the administrator assuming a user’s identity to avoid adding confusion to the logs. Further flexibility has also been added to the logs so that the entire log is now searchable via WEBcnx and it’s also possible to search within date ranges.
The Arden Software Development Team are now working on the bigger roadmap projects for upcoming releases. A significant update to the User Interface is ongoing, which will include enhancements to both WEBcnx and Lens to be much more touchscreen friendly.
The company is also working on adding support for a new expression engine to its custom forms, which will allow administrators to build calculations into forms, a significant enhancement required to support the new Dieshop Management version of WEBcnx.
This development goes together with a new, streamlined form designer to make building and updating any forms quicker and easier, and for the WEBcnx integrated version of Lens, the company will shortly be starting to add annotation support.
From order entry to design, WEBcnx was created for the packaging industry, linking the different parts of a business together to ensure people know what to do and when to do it.
It’s compatible with Arden’s Impact CAD software, is also fully customisable to customers’ individual workflow systems, and has the ability to integrate customers and suppliers into the design and approval process.
