| Switch Core Engine |
- Provides the basic functionality for receiving, sorting, routing and tracking of
files.
- Enables PDF-specific handling like splitting and merging of PDF files.
|
| Configurator Module |
- Allows you to use a number of third-party applications in a Switch flow, such as the
Adobe Creative Suite and other applications that are often used in the graphical
industry. For a list of all supported applications, refer to the Configurator Module documentation.
- For each of the supported applications, Switch offers a configurator which streamlines
the connection between Switch and the application concerned, and controls the output
destination of the processed files.
Note: All supported configurators are available by default, but you must have an active
license for the third-party application to be able to use the configurator. For
example, you can only use Adobe InDesign in a Switch flow if you have an active license
for Adobe InDesign.

| Database Module |
- Automates the communication between databases and Switch, without the need for
additional scripting.
- If you have purchased the Database Module, the Database connect flow element
becomes available and allows you to integrate a database into your Switch flow, i.e.:
- Use values from a database.
- Read, write, update and delete information in a database.
- View database values through the Switch Web Portal.
|
| Metadata Module |
- Allows you to use metadata information stored in XML or JDF tickets, stored as XMP
data, or stored as a dataset in some custom file format (opaque dataset).
- If you have purchased the Metadata Module, the Metadata flow elements become
available, allowing you to:
- Use metadata wherever Switch uses variables, for example to route files or process
jobs dynamically.
- Update or add information in XMP packages.
|
| Scripting Module |
- Allows you to use scripts and script expressions in Switch.
- Scripts can be developed with SwitchScripter, a Switch application component that
comes with the Switch core engine. You don't need an active license for the Scripting
Module to develop scripts; however, to use them in Switch (using the Script element), you
do need such a license.
- If you want to write scripts for the integration of third-party applications in
Switch, you also need to buy the Configurator SDK. Contact Enfocus for more
information.

| SwitchClient Module |
- Allows you to access the Switch Server remotely. You can:
- Submit jobs to Switch flows (via Submit points)
- Review and route jobs (via Checkpoints)
- You can either use this functionality through the Switch Web Portal, or through your
own custom job client.
- The SwitchClient Module comes with 5 concurrent user licenses, meaning that 5 users
can access Switch through a web interface at the same time. Additional client
licenses can be purchased if necessary.
|
| Switch Web Services Module |
- Allows you to design custom Switch client interfaces with existing applications or
web-based interfaces. For example, you could build an interface to allow your customers
to submit files straight from your company website.
- The API is well-documented and can be found on the
Enfocus website.
|
| Performance Module |
- The Performance Module offers additional processing capabilities, i.e. an
unlimited number of concurrent processes as well as advanced performance tuning.
Note: The Switch Core Engine allows up to 4 concurrent processes; you can also buy a
specific license key for additional concurrent processes. For more information, please
contact your local Enfocus reseller or sales@enfocus.com.
