2009 workflow changes

Corey Hinman Nov 25, 2008 9:21 PM

Does anyone know where I can find details on the changes in workflows for 2009, specifically as it relates to ECN's?

I've done a ton of work with ECN's and I'm hoping I won't need to redo any work..however, if there is a more efficient way of doing things, I'm all for it.

The notifications are a huge pain right now and I think they've made improvements but I haven't seen any specifics.

Thanks,!
Corey

Have you downloaded the media yet? The "What's New" is in with the guides.

As I recall you have the most amazing ECN workflows on the planet but the dynamic notifications my help?

Here are the topics I pulled out of the manual regarding workflows:
XML Export for named and SW BOMs
Notifications for Named BOMs
Dynamic Notifications
Electronic Signatures

  Hi Corey,
  
  Looks like you have the best ECN workflow ever,
  As we are working in a small company that is expending we will have to build such a workflow for changes. Woudl it be possible for you to write a post with teh different steps of your workflow??
  
  Thansk in advance!

    Well, i'm not sure about that, but it is pretty deep. The biggest issue i have right now is with Notifications, so I'm meeting with my var this month to look at potential improvements before I go creating more workflows. How's about I get back to you after that? If you have specific questions feel free to ask.

      The good news is our VAR showed me the functionality I wanted to see in PDMWorks 2009. The bad news (if you want to call it that) is that our workflows are complex enough (yeah me) that the functionality won't aid us in making the creation more efficient (boo me).
      
      Additionally I still don't want to upgrade to 2009 because I would like to see SW make an enhancement that when you export and import workflows that the link to external workflows are not lost (along with their transitions, as I use a lot of external links.
