Automatic tasks

Here's a typical scenario: you have your style file ready, but someone else needs it in another format. You open your CAD system, and export the file.
Here's another one: You need to prepare a pattern card, or simply print all the pieces in the style. If your system has a 'create report' feature, your job is a little easier; if not - you need to type the information.
What's in common with the above examples?

They are all repetitive tasks that you probably find yourself doing on a daily basis. It's far from being a nightmare, but still, your life would be a little happier if you didn't have to do those things over and over again.
Well, one might ask, why not add some kind of button, that will send it to the task queue. However, here in simplePDM, we ask - Why bother clicking a button? Why not have the automatic tasks done automatically for you!
Each time you save a style file it will be converted to other file formats and the piece table information will appear to privileged users. You will no longer need to open your file just to export it or to check which pieces are there.
