Smart Router to facilitate complex filtering and distribution requirements for IBM i spooled files

What is Smart Router?
Smart Router is an iDocs module offered by inFORM Decisions. Smart Router allows you to control the rules-based bursting and processing of IBM i spool reports, forms and business documents, re-bundle and deliver spool content to individual targets. Smart Router output feeds directly into other iDocs modules for distribution via fax and/or printer, email, or for indexing and storage in a Web-based archive for easy browser-based retrieval any time.

With Smart Router, you can pre-define how the System i should split out, process, and regroup. You can also distribute individual pages of a spool file. For this reason, files can be transferred into the hands of the exact people who need them.

Below are some unique features of Smart Router.
- Offers a easy to use interface

- Adds text to the iSeries spool file

- Provides a intelligent engine which easily handles thousands of targets, conditions and tests

- Conditional spool file mapping identifies specific pages of a spool file to be directed to pre-specified targets and controls how each page is processed, bundled and delivered

- Has a easy-to-follow menus with useful prompts which help users quickly define custom conditions, tests and targets

- Offers conditions and tests which can include any combination of external spool file attributes, internal spool file content and targets (output definitions) for accurate implementation of unique or complex requirements

- Allows output definitions accommodate overrides on external spool file to attribute so tha processed files are easily identified within the output queue

- Native System i processing means faster performance and improved capabilities over solutions that require PCs

- Integrates with iDocs Suite to allow users to merge processed spool files with business form graphics, convert to PDF, print, email, fax and/or index and store in a Web-based archive for easy browser-based retrieval.

Below are some unique benefits of Smart Router.
- Boosts speed, precision and ease of document distribution

- Splits spool files into logical pieces for processing, then intelligently repackages final reports/forms and delivers without human intervention

- Reduces errors and delays in getting critical information into users’ hands

- Establishes a highly repeatable, automated process for complex distribution requirements

- Enables faster, more accurate AP/AR processing

- Improves customer satisfaction with faster delivery of documents according to each recipient’s preference

- Leverages the power, security and processing speed of your System i – iSeries server

- Precisely controls complex document or report distribution

- When used in conjunction with iView, automates the web-based archiving function so that document/form is immediately available to authorized people via browser.
