New highlights you should know about
Workflow Design
The new Workflow Design is a completely redesigned version of the Process Repository. All BPMN 2.0 processes can be easily integrated into TIM and enriched with automation properties (e.g. time specifications, events and their parameters). This makes it even easier to transform process models into dynamic TIM workflows. The events can be intuitively added to the corresponding activities using drag & drop and are available with descriptions, parameters and validation directly in TIM. This results in massive time savings and an improved user experience when designing workflows with TIM. Assigning existing groups via drag & drop also saves valuable time and avoids potential errors.
Inbound E-Mail Management
The new “Inbound E-Mail Management” module makes it even easier for users to interact with the TIM BPM Suite. Tasks can be completed by simply replying to an e-mail and processes can be started directly by e-mail. Attachments, form content and decisions can also be easily sent by e-mail without logging in. The TIM BPM Suite reads this e-mail, processes the information entered and completes the corresponding task or starts a new process. A new tracking page provides clear status displays and success checks for incoming external e-mails. Previously, this option was only available for outbound e-mail traffic.
Temporary Task User
With the new “Temporary Task User” category, we have created a cost-effective way of working with temporary external users. Benefit from increased security and control when working with authenticated external users, e.g. suppliers and customers, in TIM Workflows. Accounts are automatically deactivated when there are no more open tasks. Workflows can be started and tasks can be completed via e-mail and without a TIM login (see also “Inbound e-mail management”).
Excel Template Handler
The new Excel Template Handler is a very useful addition to the TIM BPM Suite. Just like the popular Word Template Handler, you can use the Excel Template Handler to automatically fill your tables from the TIM BPM Suite without having to manually edit the corresponding file in Excel. Create an Excel template and simply add links to the process variables. TIM will automatically populate the corresponding Excel file with data – calculations with formulas are also possible, of course. You can then edit and distribute the Excel file together with the data from the workflow.
