Atomz Corporation announced support for XML data import and export. Now the data that Atomz Publish maintains for its customers can be exported to other applications in the enterprise, and data from other data repositories can be easily uploaded and imported into the Atomz Publish Web content management system. Atomz already provides an XML content repository with Atomz Publish.
The feature enables users to define data schemas for both importing and exporting XML data directly to Publish templates. Administrator users employ XML syntax to define the relationship between the Atomz Publish data and the external data source in order to create data schemas. Complete with user permissions, multi-step tasks and email notification, workflow is easily configured and managed by the administrator, who can also define tasks to incorporate exporting and importing data. Uploading templates and data schemas can be done from the Administrator’s desktop. Data fields can be re-ordered upon either data export or import. This enhancement also allows administrators to convert .html files to .xml files on export and conversely convert .xml files to .html files on import. www.atomz.com
