New Standard Forms
New standard form tickets are installed with every database and have been updated to include improved organization and a great new appearance.
Forms Editor
Use the built-in electronic forms editor to replace and improve upon your existing paper-based workflow. No programming is necessary to create and deploy stunning and effective forms.
Form Logic
Using the MetaScript functions (extended JavaScript), developers can programmatically control the forms presented to users.
Server-Side Script Execution
Make your system run lightning fast, even over the Internet. Server-side scripting capabilities make it easy to optimize performance by running transaction-intensive scripts on the server.
Email Invitations
When creating or editing users, administrators can now send email invitations that contain a link to the application deployment page. From the deployment page, users have a quick and simple point and click interface to install the desktop application and log in.
Solution Libraries
Solution Libraries are designed to enhance and extend the core functionality of Workgroups 2011 Suite and can include tickets, searches, scripts and reports. Use Solution Libraries to add functionality to your system, including full CRM, brand asset management, Human Resources Tracking and much more. or a Help Desk solution. Most Solution Libraries are downloadable free of charge at the MetaCommunications Developer Center.
Support for AppleScript

System Setup

Visual Database Editor
An visual database editor provides even non-programmers with a point-and-click means for designing and developing their databases.
Custom Application Menus
Design custom menus and display them based on the user that logs into the system. Use menus to execute scripts, run reports, open finds, create new jobs, open browser windows, dashboards, and much more.
User and Group Permissions
Administrators set visibility and control rights for users and groups. Permissions can be specified right down to the field level, providing administrators with the means to create granular access and security policies that are as easy to implement and maintain.
Developer Center Community
Jump-start your implementation by installing tickets, reports, sample code snippets and complete solutions directly from the MetaCommunications Developer Center.
Library Import/Export
Library import and export capabilities allow administrator to import or export solutions. This is very useful for adding functionality to your system from third parties or for migrating changes (for example forms or reports) from a test system to production. Capabilities include:
