Announcing HyperVars - a new FrameMaker plugin for Web-based variable
management from iG5 Authoring Tools and CudSpan
Store variable definitions on a centralized Web server, and your autho
ring team can import them into your documents from any system that can
access the server. Change variable definitions once, and know that al
l your team members can import the same definitions into their documen
ts.
HyperVars turns FrameMaker into a specialized Web client that contacts
the HyperVars server to request and import variable definitions.
HyperVars features include:
* Multiple variable definition sets - for example, store all company-w
ide definitions in one set, and store all product-wide definitions in
another.
* Upload variable definitions to the server with the click of a button
