FileScan Tool Pro is a powerful workflow-management tool. You can create simple hotfolder and/or scheduled workflows or you can create complex workflows which use conditional branching. All workflows are executed by daemons which can run from the systemtray or as a service. The standard version has 10 separate daemons which each can run virtually unlimited workflows. The separate daemons ensure independant processing to balance your workflows. There is also a 20-daemon and 30-daemon version available.

A powerful part of FST-Pro are the internal variables. These variables give you a wide range of information about the current file (when using a hotfolder workflow). Information like filename, filepath, filesize, fileowner etc. can be used in the scripts to direct the workflow. Beside these file-related variables there are also system-variables which give you information about the current workflow, date, time, system-information etc.

Modular Design
FST-Pro uses a modular design which allows for easy implementation of new functionality. Apart from a set of built-in functions, most functionality is made up of plugins which can be licensed separately. This way you can choose which functionality you want and only purchase a license for these particular plugins. If later you want to start using other plugins you can simply purchase additional licenses.

Plugins
An extensive plugin library is available. All plugins are included in the standard setup package. The plugins include functionality for (secure)FTP, sending and receiving of email, accessing databases, XML import and export, file handling, string-manipulation etc.

Monitoring
Detailed logging is a vital part of FST-Pro. Keep track of what's going on by using the LogViewer which gives realtime access to all logging. The Advanced Search option gives you the ability to track specific information across all daemons/workflows and will display the information in a chronological order. It also displays in an eays-to-use way which script commands have generated errors and which didn't and with one-click you can jump to the particular command in the workflow in question.

Regular Expressions
FST-Pro fully supports the use of regular-expressions. Use re's to setup file-filters in hotfolder workflows, extract information from strings, filenames, etc.
