Easy to Use

Create Targets, Monitors and Rules
MP Author Professional relies on wizards to guide you through the creation of the necessary MP components. This takes the complexity out of creating a new MPs and means you don’t need programming skills or Visual Studio.
Advanced MP Authoring
MP Author Professional gives you the capability to build MPs even for the most complex environments. Use MP Author Professional to create advanced classes and targets, advanced aggregate and dependency monitors as well as process monitors.
Support for fragments
A fragment is a piece of XML which contains working parts for a specific workflow. Fragments can now be imported into MP Studio and MP Author Professional and the user will be guided through customizing the fragment for their specific needs. The fragment will be added to the Management Pack being developed to greatly simplify the authoring process. Kevin Holman has created a library of fragments for many different types of workflows and this library is directly supported in v8. Also we’ve added the ability to create and share fragments on Github.
