TotalAgility Developer Library & Helper Methods
TALib is a reusable TotalAgility development library with 400+ pre-built helper methods designed to simplify common development tasks across documents, strings, databases, PDFs, emails, data conversion, and more. Instead of repeatedly writing and maintaining the same utility logic across process applications, developers can use reusable methods to accelerate development and keep implementations cleaner.
AUDIENCE
TotalAgility Developers
Reduce repetitive coding and access ready-to-use methods for common development tasks.
TotalAgility Architects
Promote reusable implementation patterns and reduce unnecessary duplication across applications.
Implementation Teams
Accelerate project delivery by reusing established utility functionality.
System Integrators & Partners
Build TotalAgility solutions faster with a reusable library that can support multiple implementations.
THE PROBLEM
Why Rebuild the Same Utility Logic in Every Project?
TotalAgility development often involves tasks that are technically simple but repeatedly require custom code.
Developers may need to:
Manipulate strings
Convert data between formats
Process documents
Query databases
Work with PDFs
Parse email content
Convert document data to JSON or XML
Convert Handle dates and common utility operationsdocument data to JSON or XML
Building these functions repeatedly increases development effort and creates more code to test and maintain.
TALib provides reusable methods for many of these recurring tasks.
PRODUCT
One Reusable Library for Common TotalAgility Development Tasks
TALib brings more than 400 helper methods into a single reusable library designed around common TotalAgility development requirements. Instead of creating another utility function for every project, developers can call an existing TALib method where it fits the requirement.
Document
Simplify common TotalAgility document operations such as document manipulation, metadata handling, merging, splitting, sorting, and related document processing tasks.
String
Handle common string conversion, manipulation, matching, formatting, encoding, and parsing operations.
DB
Work with databases through ODBC and SQL-related helper methods, including query execution and data handling.
Perform common PDF-related operations and inspect properties such as password protection and document characteristics.
Doc JSON
Convert TotalAgility document and data structures into JSON for APIs, integrations, and downstream processing.
Doc XML
Convert document and process data into XML where XML-based integrations or downstream systems require it.
Email Body Parse
Extract useful information from email bodies and unstructured text, including supported patterns such as key-value information, numbers, domains, and other common data elements.
CAPABILITIES
Document Operations
Work with common document manipulation and processing requirements without repeatedly creating custom utility logic.
Data Conversion
Convert and transform information between commonly required formats for TotalAgility workflows and integrations.
Database Operations
Simplify common database operations through reusable methods and ODBC-based functionality.
Text & String Processing
Handle conversion, parsing, formatting, validation, and matching tasks.
Email & Payload Parsing
Extract useful information from email bodies and text-based payloads.
PDF Utilities
Perform common PDF checks and operations within your TotalAgility development environment.

BENEFITS
Build More. Repeat Less.
Accelerate Development
Start with reusable methods instead of implementing common utility logic from scratch.
Simplify Maintenance
Centralize commonly reused functionality so changes can be managed more consistently.
Reduce Boilerplate
Keep process implementations focused on business logic rather than repetitive helper code.
Support Cleaner Implementations
Move recurring utility operations into reusable methods instead of repeatedly embedding them into process logic.
Improve Reusability
Reuse common functionality across TotalAgility applications and projects.
Reduce Development Effort
Spend more development time on business requirements and less on rebuilding common utilities.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Add TALib
Make the TALib library available to your TotalAgility development environment according to the supported deployment approach.
2
Select a Method
Choose from the available helper methods based on your development requirement.
3
Pass Your Data
Provide the required inputs from your process, form, rule, or custom development component.
5
Reuse
Apply the same library capabilities across other processes and applications where appropriate.
4
Get the Result
Use the returned result directly in your TotalAgility implementation.
TotalAgility supports custom .NET assemblies, C# and VB.NET scripting, custom services, and API-based development, so TALib should be presented as a complementary reusable development layer within that ecosystem rather than as a replacement for the TotalAgility SDK.
WHEN TO USE
Where Can TALib Help?
New TotalAgility Development
Use reusable methods while building new workflows, forms, integrations, and business applications.
Large Implementations
Reduce repeated utility development across multiple processes and components.
Custom Development
Simplify common operations that fall outside standard TotalAgility configuration.
Integration Projects
Use data-conversion, database, JSON, XML, and related helper functionality where required.
Existing Environments
Introduce reusable utilities into suitable existing implementations where repetitive custom logic is already being maintained.
Development Standardization
Create more consistent approaches to recurring utility tasks across projects and teams.
WHY TALIB
Why Use a Dedicated TotalAgility Library?
Built Around TotalAgility Development
TALib is designed around the recurring technical tasks encountered in TotalAgility implementations.
400+ Reusable Methods
A broad collection of pre-built functionality across common development categories.
One Reusable Library
Keep frequently needed helper functionality organized in one place.
Practical Enterprise Focus
The library grew from real implementation requirements rather than generic utility development alone.
Designed for Developers
The purpose is simple: reduce repetitive work and help developers spend more time on the business solution.

FAQ
TotalAgility Developer Library — Frequently Asked Questions
What is TALib?
TALib is a Flexinta developer library containing 400+ reusable helper methods designed to simplify common development tasks in Tungsten TotalAgility projects.
Is TALib an official Tungsten Automation product?
No. TALib is a Flexinta product designed to complement TotalAgility development. It should not be represented as an official Tungsten Automation product unless you have a separate formal authorization that permits that claim.
What does TALib include?
TALib includes reusable functionality covering areas such as documents, strings, databases, PDFs, email-body parsing, JSON, XML, and other common development operations.
Can TALib be used with TotalAgility custom development?
TALib is intended to support TotalAgility development scenarios where reusable helper functionality is appropriate. The exact deployment and compatibility requirements should be confirmed for the TotalAgility environment and version.
Does TALib replace the TotalAgility SDK?
No. Tungsten provides its own TotalAgility API/SDK for platform development. TALib is intended as a complementary helper library for recurring development tasks.
How many methods does TALib have?
TALib currently provides 400+ reusable methods across its supported library categories.
Can TALib reduce custom code?
It is designed to reduce the need to repeatedly implement common utility operations when an appropriate TALib method is available.
Can the same TALib methods be reused across projects?
Yes, where the method and deployment approach are appropriate for the project and TotalAgility environment.
Who is TALib designed for?
