New Workflow UI

A completely redesigned workflow with modern UI. The new workflow UI retains capabilities of previous versions, like copy-paste, date calculation, etc, and adds the following new capabilities:
  • Drag-and-drop tasks, collapse stages, and resize and reorder columns.
  • Editable tasks and approvals details within the spreadsheet and in a panel that opens when you click the task or approval.
  • Based on the permissions you set, the workflow now opens directly in edit mode allowing quick changes. Any modification made in the spreadsheet is automatically saved. Any modification made in the task panel or approval panel, which is not saved, can be cancelled, if required.
  • Several users can now work on same workflow at the same time. Any changes made by one user will be automatically refreshed on the other users' browsers.
  • Similar to Classic Worklow UI, the timeline view, in the Enhanced Workflow UI, will be a read-only view.
  • Process view, in the Enhanced Workflow UI, is not available in the 12.1 release.
