Flowlet is a background application which makes Flow smoother to use.
General
Flowlet is a Windows utility program that makes possible to use Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers with the Flow 2020. No Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed. Flowlet's task is to access the local disc of your workstation. It works as a middleman between your workstation and the server. It controls file transfers and Windows program launches.
Flowlet doesn’t support Internet Explorer. You still need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with IE.
Flowlet does not support mobile devices. Modifying files is limited: you have to take care of file locations when checking out document files.
