Elevating Process Connectivity with Process Map Linking 

Our latest update is about to redefine how you visualise and navigate your processes – introducing Process Map linking! Connecting processes and navigating seamlessly between them has never been more accessible. 

What’s New? 

🌐 Drag, Drop, and Link with Ease 

For Flow Builders, the power to establish relationships between processes is now at your fingertips. Simply drag and drop the new component onto the canvas, and configure it by linking it to an existing published process map. Building connections between your maps has never been simpler. 

✍️ Multiple Use Cases 

Linked process maps will be a game-changer for teams in many ways – whether they’re used to build mega-sequential processes or as sub-processes within a process.

1. Linking sequential processes together, where you’d link from the end of one process to the start of another. E.g. from Recruitment to Onboarding.
2. Linking to sub-processes or other levels of process in the middle of a process. e.g. linking to the Raise Invoice process at a step within another finance process.

🔄 Effortless Navigation Between Linked Maps 

As a user, experience a new level of process cohesion. Easily navigate between different linked maps and their parent map without leaving the page. No more bouncing between screens – everything you need is conveniently accessible in one central location. 

👀️ View All Related Processes at a Glance 

Imagine a workspace where all related processes and their details are seamlessly integrated. With Process Map Linking, users can view linked process maps, gaining a holistic perspective of interconnected workflows. No need to switch between tabs – everything you need is right there on the same page. 

How It Works 

• Drag and Drop the Process Map Linking component onto your canvas. 
• Link the Process Map Linking component to an existing published process map. 
• Users can effortlessly move between linked process maps and the parent map for a comprehensive view.

NEW – Conditional Forms

We are excited to announce our latest product update, the much-anticipated conditional forms feature.  

With the introduction of conditional forms, users now have the ability to hide or display certain field types based on conditional logic. This dynamic behavior is configured within the modeler, allowing users to customize their forms to cater to specific business requirements. 

This highly requested feature will allow users to create intelligent and dynamic forms that adapt to specific use cases, ensuring that end users are presented with only the most relevant and essential information. 

If you’re interested in checking out conditional forms in your Flowingly environment, get in touch with our CS team and they can enable it for you! 

Key Features

Field Types 

Conditions can be applied to the following field types: 

• Short Text 
• Long Text 
• Checkbox
• Dropdown 
• Options List 
• Multi-Selection List 
• Task List 
• Currency 
• Email 
• Number 

Conditional Logic 

Users can define conditional rules within the modeler to determine when certain fields should be hidden or displayed. The available conditions include: 

• Filled/Empty: Allows users to define whether a field should be shown or hidden based on whether it is filled or empty. 
• Equals/Not Equals: Users can specify if a field should be displayed or hidden based on whether its value matches or does not match a predefined value. 

Key Benefits 

Relevant Information

With conditional forms, users will only see the information that is relevant to their specific needs, eliminating unnecessary clutter and improving the overall user experience. 

Adaptive Forms

By dynamically displaying or hiding fields based on business logic, conditional forms enable the creation of adaptive forms that adapt to different scenarios and use cases, providing a personalized experience for end users. 

Efficient Workflows

Conditional forms streamline workflows by presenting users with the most pertinent information upfront, reducing the time spent navigating irrelevant fields and improving overall efficiency. 

We hope you love the new conditional forms feature as much as we do and will find it valuable in tailoring your forms to meet the unique needs of your business. We are committed to continually enhancing Flowingly to deliver seamless and user-friendly process automation experiences. 

As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions. If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team. 

The Flowingly Team 

NEW – Confidential Workflows

We’re excited to announce the release of a much-anticipated new feature called confidential workflows!  

We understand that the privacy and security of the data and IP being communicated within your flows is crucial, so we’ve designed this feature to give departments more control over the privacy of the information in their processes. 

When a Flow Model is flagged as confidential the data contained within can only be accessed by the workflow creator and those involved in the workflow. This means that you can rest assured that your confidential information will remain secure and private.

This will be especially helpful for HR or legal workflows which can often include personal information or sensitive data. 

Confidential Workflow Use Cases

NEW – Formulas in Tables

We’ve also added table formulas to the product. Formulas have been a common request from customers as they will often use tables to select products, similar to an e-commerce-type experience.  

They have added a new field type within the Table component of the Form Designer called Formula. This feature allows users to apply calculations between columns within the same table. 

With table formulas, users can save time and reduce errors by automating calculations that would otherwise have to be done manually. This feature is especially useful for businesses that need to quickly generate quotes, invoices, or other types of documents based on data in their tables.
