For example, warehouse workstations would not have to save a file for the directory to process because eFORMz would access the information through a web service call. This would result in less storage space being used.

The web service provider determines the URL syntax, including key value pairs (KVPs) to send. eFORMz on a server is versatile in the aspect that eFORMz can be called from multiple workstations in different locations that can create a web service call to generate output, such as shipping labels, packing slips, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Please see the following post\u00a0for a guide on using a web service call to output data: <a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/web-service-post-call-output\">https:\/\/minisoft.com\/support\/index.php\/web-service-post-call-output<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more details on the eFORMz API, consult the following posts:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/eformz-api\/\">eFORMz API (Called as a Web Service)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/eformz-api-net-web-service-call\/\">eFORMz API .NET Web Service Call<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/eformz-api-url-parameters\/\">eFORMz API URL Parameters<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/web-service-post-call-to-wake-up-a-sleeping-queue-part-1\/\">Web Service POST call to \u201cWake Up\u201d a \u201cSleeping\u201d Queue: Part 1<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/web-service-post-call-to-wake-up-a-sleeping-queue-part-2\/\">Web Service POST call to \u201cWake Up\u201d a \u201cSleeping\u201d Queue: Part 2<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/support\/index.php\/web-service-post-call-to-wake-up-a-sleeping-queue-part-3\/\">Web Service POST call to \u201cWake Up\u201d a \u201cSleeping\u201d Queue: Part 3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the advantage of using a web service call to return output from a eFORMz project?
