4 Product Overview The Web Importer lets you import existing web pages directly into your irise simulations. With a single click, you can bring in the content of a web page as a high fidelity prototype. This feature is useful for capturing a baseline of an existing application that may require enhancing, or for kick starting the creation of your internal content library that contains corporate assets and styles you can use as building block for future simulations. This is a BETA product and we recognize this current Early Access version may not import all Web Sites as well as we would like. Our suggestion is to use this product with no risk and any content that is imported is a plus. We are actively working on improving the import quality to handle more and more types of web pages and will continue to make frequent incremental releases. We hope you find this feature a useful add-on to irise Studio. irise Web Importer - User Guide 4
