I suggest adding different shapes
Flowcharts are comprised of decision, delay, hold, manual operation, inputs, document, etc step-shapes. These are missing and not every step of a process is a box-step.
Also, embed options or a way to merge it directly to Docuware Workflow designer.
Swimlanes look great! cheers!

I suggest adding a way to relate notes to tasks.
Having a way to connect a note to a task to make it clear that it belongs to a particular task. Maybe a bubble attached to the task or having a collapsible note below the task.

Adjustable size of steps
As for the notes i am expecting the same behavior for the steps. Adjust the size of steps would help differentiating and helps avoiding unnecessary word wrapping.

The ability to drag a step to a new location and have the connecting line auto adjust position to keep the layout clean
See a simple sample of what happens when you drag steps to a new location. The connecting lines get very confusing.

Share-Information and folder structure in overview list
We have about 80 different processes for 16 different companies in our process planner list. It would be really helpful to group them and also to see in the list overview who the process maps were shared with.

max 6 steps
Appears you are limited to 6 steps. Is there any reason for this? In my scenario I needed one more step.

Ability to open more than one map at a time
It would help productivity to being able to open more than one map at a time so that it' be easier to use the same phrases/wording across different maps for similar process steps.
1 voteWould you like to open multiple processes? This is already possible. Or would you like to copy single words/phrases from one diagram into another?

There is no save button and keep losing my work.
I have tried importing the document just in case but that did not help...

A list of plans, shared with me
If a plan was shred with me, this one should be shown in a separate area. An I should be able to "register" a plan, where I only got a link but was not shared to my account.

I suggest to look from the Business and IT perspectives
Diagram looks very nice from the perspective of business users and I think we are going to the right direction. Please consider additional simple features listed below, that can really improve usability and encourage companies to use this tool in practice.
Business perspective:
1. Adding simple Decision step which can show two types of flow: parrallel and alternatives
2. Allowing the loops betweean single business process steps
3. Three types of steps: User Activity, Decision Step and Interface Step ( showing intergations)
4. Define users and groups of users
5. Assigning users or a group of users to the User's…1 voteThank 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.

Replicate Workflow Manager and Import / Export
I think it would be more useful and efficient if it mirrored the steps available in workflow manager. (e.g. assign data) different types of steps could then be imported into workflow manager as a shell that could be further configured. Likewise, existing workflows could be exported as shells that could be tweaked and then imported into other DocuWare instances for further configuration. The ability to copy workflows within Process Planner would be nice to go along with this.
Thanks!0 votes
