Differences: viflow subscription version | viflow 9 purchase version
Applies to: viflow (Abo | 9) | Article: 2926632 | Updated on 13.11.2024
viflow can be purchased either as a subscription or as a purchase version.
Fundamental differences
Both versions are subject to (usually) monthly update cycles and regularly receive free program updates (bug fixes). With the purchased version, you receive these updates within the licensed purchased version (e.g. viflow 9). The subscription licenses also contain new functions that may only be included in the purchased version at a later date – then with a new version number. The subscription version does not have a version number, as it basically represents the latest software version with all available functions.
Therefore, there are always some differences in the range of functions and possibly the user interface between the purchase version and the subscription version. These differences between the current purchase version of viflow 9 and the viflow subscription version are listed below.

Merge objects
In viflow (subscription) objects can be merged. To do this, select the object that you want to merge with another. Then go to the Start – Merge {{1}} tab and select the object that you want to merge into the selected object.
A very useful feature, for example to remove duplicate users without losing important data.
You can find all information about this function in the viflow help under ››› Start tab – viflow object – Merge.
This function is not available in viflow 9; merging objects, including comparing properties, must be done manually.
DeleteDisplay the structure/folder view when starting the viflow WebModel
In the WebModel, you can use viflow (subscription) to configure the contents of the main and properties windows as well as the cockpit selection options after export.
In viflow (subscription) you can select whether the object trees are displayed in the structure or folder view when the WebModel starts. To do this, activate or deactivate the corresponding entries under Settings – Administrative Settings.
This saves you the need to subsequently adjust the view, which is necessary in viflow 9.
