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

Adding Gauges to an entity
