XML Ingester

 

The XML Ingester allows you to upload XML files that you have exported from KC Workflow to the KEW server.  You can export a large variety of objects, such as document types, rules, rule templates, and workgroups.  Once exported, these XML files serve as a backup of the exported data.  The XML Ingester allows you to upload the XML files to Workflow, to save reconfiguration time, or to return to prior data.
