Major Features

Import a Process from Excel

As a user you can import a process from Microsoft Excel. You will need to have the create processes permission, or be an administrator in ProcessPro. The import function can be found on the processes screen, above the list of processes. To find out how to import a process, you can read our help article here...

Application Aware Help Documentation

Over the last couple of months we have been hard at work creating help documentation to enable this new feature to run smoothly. We have added help buttons to all the partial views where the Help button itself is not accessible. This allows you to get application aware help on the specific screen you are needing help with and saves having to search for the correct documentation.

Export a Process to Kantata

As a user you have the ability to Export a Process to Kantata. The company permission Export to Kantata needs to be enabled. To find out more about how to set up your API key and export to Kantata, click here...

Statistical Analysis of Process and Activity Allocations by Role

Administrators can view a new report on roles and their allocations, both at the process/value stream level as owners, and their use in activities. The role allocation report shows whether roles have been under, over or adequately allocated. Under settings the status numbers, colours and descriptions can be changed, or added to, allowing levels to be customised to your organisation.
