Enable horizontal scrolling in Workflow Designer
Scrolling mechanics natively supported in windows have evolved from vertical-only to include the horizontal dimension. Putting horizontal scrolling to use here would greatly help when working with large workflows -- just as much as vertical scrolling does. Whether using a touchpad with 2-finger drag, or a mouse with a tilt-wheel, navigation becomes much simpler, allowing the user to focus on the workflow itself rather than dragging the scrollbar back and forth.

Allow error links to be hidden in Workflow Designer
It would be wonderful if we can toggle off the display of the red error links, maybe also providing some indication on the item that it is connected (for example change the color on the handle of the error output.) For complex workflows with many automatic steps, the error links can become overwhelming.

Make Workflow Designer variables available in text area of stamp
WFD has a lot of ability to massage index field data that can be re-written to indices. It would be nice to get those values into text fields in WFD stamps. Currently the "Stamps include:" options are a limited number of unalterable data items. It would be great to include WF variables in additional text field(s).

Allow to use stamp at decision level and not task level
It would be great if we could have the possibility to select an option : if one of the decision of the task should have a stamp and not another
For example : If i validate an invoice, stamp is placed
If i use the decision : request info is used, there is no need to place any stamp on the invoice.Options are currently very limited regarding task stamps
Thank you.

Automate workflow tasks
Currently tasks require a user to make a decision on them. However there are cases where an external system or DB might be updated and having it sync in to a workflow task to move an item would save the user from having to do it manually. For example, an item is on the approval task list and a user approves the deal in another system that can update an index field in DW. That update causes the item to be approved and move to another task for a different user.
7 votesYour idea has been added to our backlog. We are now further investigating the idea.

In WorkFlow, conditional field show
For example:
If DocType ="invoice" then SHOW field "Total Invoice".
Show fields depending value of others fields

You can use a condition before the task and then use two different tasks. This seems to be a little more complicated, but structures the workflow easier readable and makes the single tasks less difficult to configure.

Edit buttons for active workflow tasks
I need to add the "check out to document tray" and other buttons for an active workflow task. We need the possibility to edit what is visible "In menu" and what is viewed as a button for workflow tasks. This is actually an option for every result lists. There would be nice to remove the reasign button here as well..
1 votePart 1 is already completed and available (at least in version 6.9) We added the second part to change the available functionality to our collection of ideas and features and will further investigate it. We currently cannot say exactly when this idea will be implemented. As soon as we have more information we will update its status.

Allow the copying (Ctrl+C or right click menu) of Workflow ID in Workflow manager for use in the URL creator
This would eliminate the need to open the database manager or key in that long number.

Visual improvements to Workflow Designer
I would like the ability to reorder Decisions within a task and their outputs, alter the size and shape of activities, and select a bunch of the activities and move them all at once. Right now it is very tedious and time-consuming to design a workflow that is visually clear.
15 votesThank you for your contribution. We are now working on a new version of the Workflow Designer, which will bring a whole new user experience, so we set this wish to “Planned”.
I’d like to point out that a couple of things are possible in the meantime, like reordering decision and now also reordering data assignments. Multiselect will come with the new version.
In case of changing size and shape of the activities, we are not planning to do this currently.
I’d be happy to learn why and how this would help you in your daily work. -
send a single notification to a specific time and show all documents as a "task list"
by reminder or expiration date, send a single notification to a specific time and show all documents as a "task list", this because when working with many documents, is not friendly to receive many emails at once.
additionally, there is no need to change the document task because reassign not imply skip the task

Radio button in Workflow Manager
To improve the ease of use, radio buttons should be implemented in the Workflow Manager. We have such buttons, we can create for example “yes” and “no” in one decision, and the user can just click once instead of open a select list and search for the correct value

Memo field in Workflow Manager
At the moment you can add a comment with max. 255 characters. In some reasons this is not enough, and it would be great if also the memo field can be used in the Workflow Manager.

Role list for Workflow Manager
With DocuWare 6.6 we can select multiple roles in using the Workflow Manager. That's nice but we need a "role list" as we have it with the Substitution list.
If we allow the user to choose a role for the next task, he can see all existing roles (!) also the "Default Organisation Role". You need to specify which roles the use can see for two important reasons.
1. Depending on the workflow one user need only a couple of roles in the list and not all.
2. The Roles are also used for the authorization management. And these roles…15 votes
