This section describes some of the enhancements made in Service Pack 1 of Empower 5.0.

Service Pack 1 now includes the standard Omnify Toolkit module.
The Omnify Toolkit provides tools, utilities, libraries, and an application development platform used by Omnify to build all 3rd party interfaces/integrations and custom reports.
The Omnify Toolkit includes a Toolkit Administrator module that provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for setup, options, and testing of all custom interfaces and reports.
The Toolkit Administrator module link can be included on the Omnify Server Home Page.
A login and proper permissions are required.
Toolkit Administrator permission can be granted under the Permissions settings in the Omnify Administrator.
Customers with 3rd party interfaces/integrations, customer reports, data check routines, etc. will receive a custom configuration installation of the Omnify Toolkit.

Many server settings are controlled in an XML configuration file (web.config).
Service Pack 1 now includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for modifying settings.
The User Interface can be accessed from the Omnify Server Home Page.
The User Interface requires a password to modify the settings.
A qualified Omnify Application Engineer can provide you with the password and appropriate setup/training.
