Custom Interface Types

Learn how new integrations can be created using our newer customizable workflow steps.

The extensibility of SDL TMS 12.1 has been improved through the introduction of custom workflow step interface types. The interface type governs the behaviour of the workflow step and facilitates the following scenarios:
  • Linking an interface type to a custom page in SDL TMS
  • Determining the types of emails to be sent at each workflow stage
  • Avoiding having to refer to explicit workflow step unique identifiers
  • Accessing SDL Online Editor from steps other than the default translation and review steps

Custom requirements can now be implemented completely separately to the core SDL TMS product and dependencies are alleviated making it easier to future-proof these customization. The new custom interface types also allow extensibility for other key focus areas such as in-context review.

For more information on custom interface types, contact your SDL representative who will put you in touch with our Professional Services team.
