Task & processes

Spatial Manager Desktop™ includes the ability to save Tasks that make it easy to run repetitive import and export processes

Spatial Manager Desktop™ Tasks are the way the user can save any import or export process and its parameters in order to run repetitive processes for import or export data tables

The user can execute any Task directly from the application or from the operating system command window; this feature also lets the user define powerful batch processes
