Workflow Controller tasks in separate tabs, please
In DocuWare 7 the tasks which ran into an error (assigned to deleted user, or so) now pop up as tasks for the workflow controllers! That is really good, but it would be nice to have those tasks in a separate tab so that the controllers, who are usually rather busy users on the workflows (accounts payable team, etc) can easily differentiate between their normal tasks and the ones they have been assigned to because of their "Controller" role.

Allow the 'Create Data Record' option available in the web client to also be available in Workflow Manager
Allow the Assign Data activity to create data records in a file cabinet. Two use cases where this might be useful; the posting of GL records for invoices, where invoices are in one cabinet and GL records in another as a 1 to many relationship. And the prepopulating of index data for documents that may be added later, such as a PO for an Invoice or a Shipping Manifest or BoL.
3 votesThank you for your idea. Right now we are focusing on other topics, so we are not considering this idea for future releases. If the demand for this topic increases, we might add it to future plans.

Add ability in DocuWare Tasks and WorkFlow to create a task without having a document already created.
Sometimes users need to be assigned a task to do a specific function such as create documents. Currently, a user would need to create a document to request a new task to create a new document. Once the task has been submitted and workflow started the original "request" document is not needed or useful.
Adding the ability to Create a task that includes data fields that are customizable by administrators and for specific users to see would solve many issues. I envision that there would be a button under tasks that would say Create a task and based on the…
3 votesYou can accomplish this currently by creating a database entry from a document tray. Just unselect all documents and the store button will be a “Create database entry” button. Then enter index entries that would trigger a workflow. The workflow will just start like with a document and you have the possibility to add a document at any later time.

Allow more complex conditions for email notification triggers
We would like to be able to generate triggers based on conditions that contain a combination of AND and OR such as the following:
Status = "Needs approval" AND
Department = "Accounting" OR Department = "Billing"One solution would be to have the ability to reference a task list to obtain the conditions for the email trigger since many times there is a related task list and the task lists allow for more complex conditions.

workflow notifications in history
DocuWare Workflow History on a document shows emails on a reassign of a task but it does NOT show any email activity when a task has notification enabled to send an email to the assigned user of a task. History absolutely needs to include an entry when a task notification email is sent as one of the automated activities.

Provide a section to enter comments when publishing a workflow.
A comments section when publishing a workflow would be useful for tracking changes made to each version.

Get email delivery status on mail sent from DocuWare Workflow
It would be helpful if emails sent from workflow would show the delivery status in workflow history. Currently we can see the recipients but not if the delivery to the recipients was successful.

Add the ability to select checkboxes on a fillable document through the workflow
For example, the document has checkbox fields that need to be marked. The only way I can figure out how to do it is make a field for each checkbox and instruct the users to enter "X" in the text field if they would want it selected.

Stop Workflow Task if Document is deleted option
If a document is mistakenly stored to a file cabinet and kicks off a workflow, but then needs to be deleted the workflow steps remain. They should be automatically killed if the document is deleted. This would save the time of deleting the document and then searching for the task and stopping it.

Display Workflow Users Assigned to a Group via a Role
Currently if I have a workflow task and I create a field in the dialog that is set to user of a group and multi-select and I have specified a group for the task assignment to display a list of users. I have found that if the group contains a role that the members of the role do not display in the list of user for the workflow field defined as user of a group. Only the individual users assigned to the group NOT the users assigned to the Role that is listed as a member of the group are…

In the workflow designer allow a workflow to be scheduled if todays date = a date index filed
In the workflow designer, you can schedule a task to run if a date field is a length of time after or before a date. There is no easy way to schedule it to run for documents that have a date = a date specifically today's date. So the solution is to have it run after the past 1 day and before the next 1 day and for some reason that ran it a day ahead of schedule so I had to put in a condition as the first command in the workflow to see if the date was =…

Select a sender when I send an e-mail through workflow activity
At the work flow when there is an activity with an e-mail, I can send the e-mail to differents addressee but if I want to change the sender or select the sender who have to send the e-mail it's impossible, isn't it, because always choose the sender from e-mail service, and as I see always have to be the same, so please how can I change the sender when I program to send an e-mail through activity from the workfrow.

In a workflow table field entry I would like to set a required field for a specific row.
In a workflow table field entry I would like to set a required field for a specific row. Here is an example. We have therapy evaluations. The referral comes in and is scheduled for the different therapy types with a table field that has the therapy type, date, location, and completion date. Then the therapists do the evaluations and they fill in the completion date. I would like to require that they fill in the completion date but if I require it then the first person to complete the evaluation would have to enter a date for the rest of…

Flag document if workflow has been stopped or errored
Workflow Controllers have the option to stop a workflow instance and, it may happen that a workflow errors and then stops. In both cases the document will retain the current document status and it may go unnoticed by the workflow users to find out that a task simply has disappeared from their list. It would be great to have an ability to catch these documents either in a List or in a system workflow which then sends tasks or email notifications to dedicated members of staff - who are not necessarily workflow controllers

Define reminder dates for tasks based on due dates rather than define due dates by reminder dates
I frequently have workflows that require tasks to be due by x number of days after an indexed date.
The problem is I can only set the reminder date by a variable, which requires me to hardcode the due date after a reminder date.I have a situation where a reminder date is 1 week before a due date, and the due date should be 30 days after a date index field.
If the document is stored the day before the task needs to be due, the reminder date defaults to the following day (since a reminder cannot be set…

Dynamically Update Workflow tasks assigned to roles
When a workflow task is assigned to a role, a task is simultaneously generated for every user who is a member of that role. This is problematic because when new colleagues are added to the role, they are unable to see workflow tasks that were created before they joined.
