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.
