Suggested substitute
ATLauncher — Free: a recommended alternate tool for users seeking a different approach to workflow and project utilities.
Getting started
To begin, open the Workflow Editor, create a new workflow, and then add rules by specifying:
- the conditions that must be met,
- the events that trigger the rule, and
- the actions the system should perform when those conditions occur.
Use the supplied templates and documentation to prototype quickly, and run the debugger to confirm behavior before applying workflows across your projects.
