The DocuWare Workflow Designer has been completely revamped, featuring a modern interface and enhanced functionality.
The new designer is now HTML-based, aligning with the rest of the DocuWare components, and can be accessed directly from DocuWare Configuration. This is why the new Workflow Designer is refered to as the Web-based Workflow Designer.
As a web application, the new Workflow Designer no longer requires installation on a specific machine. Workflow Designer is now accessible from any device, offering greater flexibility and convenience.
The user interface of the Web-based Workflow Designer has also undergone a redesign. Explore the list below to discover the new features, changes, and removed functionalities compared to the previous Workflow Designer.
The core concept of DocuWare Workflow Manager remains the same, ensuring a seamless experience for users completing tasks.
