  1. Add ability to invoke another workflow from a current workflow

    Would be awesome if you could have a module that would start another workflow. It would make large workflows easier to design and keep them cleaner. I know that you can do this by using modified index and such but I always run into issues with that and workflows starting when they shouldn't. Would be a lot better if you could just create workflows and then call them when needed within another workflow.

  3. Comments section in the workflow

    Some of our Workflows can get long and complicated, and for support reasons would be great to have a "Comments" node that isn't connected to the actual workflow, but simply displays in the viewer window. This way we can see at a glance what certain nodes are doing

  4. Allow selection of Dialogs and profiles when a new field is created

    You should allow the selection of dialogs and profiles when creating a new field. The field being only assigned to the standard dialogs it's not enough when costumers have 30+ profiles, 30+ dialogs and 50+ tasklists.
    Thank you.

  5. Allow Connect to mail to ignore small signature images

    When using the Connect to mail feature, I used to be able to ignore image files less than a certain size, so images that are in signature did not import into the document. This option is no longer available, so the signature image is now part of the document. Removing them is cumbersome when you are importing thousands of documents weekly into a document tray.

  7. enable Conditions in Workflow to behave more like Select Case statements than If...Else statements

    In one of our workflows, we have three possible conditions that could be present

    Let's say these are A, B, and C.

    The only way I can describe the logic about what is and what could be is to draw from my programming background.

    Workflow only lets us set up the logic that it might look like this:

    If Condition = A Then
    ... (A's actions)
    Else
    ... If Condition = B Then
    ... (B's actions)
    ...Else
    ...... If Condition= C Then
    ......... (C's actions)
    ...... Else
    ......... (other conditions)
    .......End If
    ... End If
    End If

    But if I…

  8. Add the ability read JSON response data as lists (add REST API as data connection)

    It would be really nice in the age of cloud services to be able to establish data connections to REST APIs and read JSON responses into lists. Unfortunately, with many of the services that many clients use being cloud-based, they often have no access to backend database tables or views to create data connections to. Being able to hook up to generic REST APIs would solve this problem.

  9. Allow the creation of Data Records from Workflow Manager/Designer.

    I have a need to create two 'Numbers' from based on a condition. If IndexField A is not empty create the 'Number'. If Indexfield B is not empty create the 'Number'. It would be good enough for the customer that one or two Data Records are created using the data

  10. URL Creater Options

    I would like to be able to create URL's that will take someone to the full Docuware interface while still redirecting them to the piece I want. Currently, if I want to take someone to their task list, it gives them a pruned down interface that doesn't allow them to use all of the features of docuware. Very confusing for the users, as there is no easy way to get the the full interface from the hobbled version.

  11. Catch All Error Block

    It would be incredibly useful to have a workflow wide error handling option. With the addition of the error variables in 6.11, this would allow a single action to be taken regardless of error location, and greatly simplify workflow design.

    As it is, connecting all of the error outputs becomes hideously complex very quickly.

  12. 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.

  15. New type of activity "jump to task" in workflow designer

    A new type of activity allow to jump to a task present inside the workflow from a trigger (index value).
    this will avoid having multiple successive conditions task to distribute flows inside a workflow.

  16. Add the ability to send Email Notifications to a Group/Role

    Emails in the Workflow Designer can be sent to a role, however this is in the case of sending one email per document that goes through the workflow.

    We use Email Notifications as a way to send one email out that lists multiple documents to ensure users are not receiving a mass number of emails. In this case, it would also be helpful to be able to send to a Group or Role from here.

    We deal a lot with Accounting systems and where an Accounts team will have documents assigned to them for example, and they perhaps want to…

  17. Add Workflow Designer as a web configuration

    Workflow Designer in the web configurations would make version switching between customers an issue of the past. It would also make supporting multiple systems much more flexible.

  18. Allow more C# libraries and data types for arithmetic expressions

    Please allow more C# libraries for arithmetic expressions.
    Currently (Version 7.10), it is very hard to work with Lists/Arrays/Keywords which contain values which are not of Type String.

    For example, when retrieving a List of decimal values via external data (SQL), this can only be stored into a keyword field, which is always handled as an array of string.

    The available LINQ functions do not allow to use sum, max, min etc. functions, because these depend on a numeric data type.

    Converting the string[] to a decimal[] or int[] is also not possible because no methods or classes which provide…

  19. Provide permanent deletion tickbox within Deletion Policy

    I suggest a tick box in the Deletion Policy configuration to bypass the recycle bin and permanently delete documents. This is especially important for Cloud customers since the consumed archive space will only be released after the final deletion of documents (a manual process if executed before the 30 days) and also because it can take up to 4 hours to see the actual storage reduction. I can see other reasons why this feature would be leveraged: customers running low on archive space who may want to delete a large quantity of documents, engineers wanting to repopulate a cabinet, etc.
