Creative file management

Creative file management in GridIron Flow brings order to chaos

Ever since computers came along to make our lives easier, the other side of the coin has been file management — especially for creative professionals. The proliferation of files generated by a design project can quickly get out of control if you don't have a file management program. But there are programs and programs: some work only with office applications, and almost none of them are visually oriented. This is when GridIron comes into the picture with unique, new file management software designed specifically to improve graphic design productivity for creative professionals.

File management for creative professionals from GridIron

Flow, the new visual workflow suite from GridIron, is total, comprehensive workflow management software in one simple, elegant interface. Unlike other file management programs, Flow is purpose-built to work with today's favorite creative pro applications, such as Adobe Version Cue or Adobe Illustrator CS3, as well as office programs. GridIron's design intent is to emphasize the visual with all of Flow's stunning creative features, including file management. At the same time, the GridIron software is totally unobtrusive, automatic, and invisible when you don't want it in the way.

Gridiron does file management for you creatively

Even without your having to launch Flow, GridIron's file management software works creatively and transparently behind the scene to keep track of file relationships by watching your save, save as, cut and paste, drag and drop, and import/export actions. While it's doing this, Flow is building visual workflow maps for you and understanding the dependencies between project files, whether they're text files, images, movies, or sound clips. With this kind of control, Flow can warn you if you're about to delete or rename a file that's critical to the project. And the files don't need to be close at hand for the GridIron software to find them — files can be online or offline, and on local, network, or removable storage devices, even on a DVD burned months ago. With GridIron Flow managing the files, creative professionals can spend time on design instead of project management.
