    I know there are very few customers on Landmark but I wanted to share my experience with the new ProcessFlow Designer tool that comes with the product. 

    It has some new features that are very nice like a "snap to grid" feature that automatically aligns nodes.  It has the ability to work on more than one flow at a time tabbing them like how Excel does with worksheets.  The connector "jump" overlapping connections making complex flows not looks so spiderweb.

    The print features still is not great, but it is better than it was but when you print on a regular laser printer the nodes are all filled in black so you can not tell an assign node from a query.

    There is a nice feature as well called Flow Issues at the bottom where the log window is in S3.  It optimizes the flow and tells you what errors it finds with the flow such as "no incoming connections".  telling you what node is in error so you don't have to hunt for it.

    At last there is a copy and paste function where you can group nodes.

      The new designer is a lot better than what Lawson currently has. The new features like managing multiple configurations on the server side and not have to select paths for JDBC etc in the flow is also great.
      I had notified the product development and they had started working on the improving the print-outs as that will be very helpful and presentable for the clients.
