SmartObjects Desktop 3 status

We're making great progress with this product. Those that requested to sign up for beta, have already received a taste of what this tool can do.

Since the previous build, we've added support for multi-select and drag and drop, cleaned up and re-organized the pop menus. A new build will be released in January, after which we'll start focusing on performance optimizations.

SPL 3 status

SPL 3 (Smart Pick Lists) has now been released. We're positive this powerful meta-layer approach to dynamic parameters / dynamic parameters with cascades (plus many other features) will not only improve your users' experiences, but will also reduce your administration work. We'll be posting this new release for download in early January.
