Usage
All entities in the system have workflow / lifecycle model attatched to them. In addition all records will have a status field, indicating the records place in its workflow. Each step in a workflow is called a status, and influences how records behave in that step (status).
- What new status can be assigned from here
- What automated actions should be carried out (see below)
- What permissions do the users have in this step
- What fields should be shown or hidden
- What are the timeconstraints on this part of the process
Automated actions
Entering, leaving or staying in a certain status can trigger certain actions in the system.
Trigger summary
- Enter
- Leave
- Timed
Timed actions are defined as an amount of time, relative to som date fields.
Send an email 1 day before the date defined in the BIRTHDAY field
Execute code 7 days after this status was reached
Actions include
- Notifications
- Task creation
- Code excution (this can do anything)
- Change status
- Export data
- Delete data (GDPR compliance)

Performance measures (LEAN)
For each record in the system it is possible to measure the time spent in a status.
This can be compared to performance targets on
- The whole flow
- A single status
The targets consists of two values
- Goal
- Tolerance
After submitting a ticket, the service desk should optimally respond within 4 hours (goal). We can however accept if it takes 24 hours (tolerance).
We can now easily mark up records depending on their time usage
- Green: Better than goal
- Yellow: Better than tolerance, worse than goal
- Red: Worse than tolerance
This can be visualized on each record using Gauge fields, or in aggrgated form via a list report.
Instructions
Setting up measures
- Entity > Advanced
- Set checkmark in
- Define goal and tolerance
- For each Entity > Status
- Define goal and tolerance
- If the status is the last part of a measured workflow check Final
