More Flowsana Updates
Flowsana has some new updates to let you know about… plus a bit of news about an upcoming hotly-requested feature…
Dynamic Duration Workflows
- Previously Flowsana always skipped weekends when calculating and assigning task dates. Now there is a Skip Weekends option; you can uncheck it if you want to include weekend days in your workflow.
- When you marked a task complete, Flowsana always adjusted the dates of its dependent tasks to that completion date. Now there is an Adjust Dates of Dependents on Task Completion option; uncheck it if you don't want this behavior for a workflow.
- Some inconsistencies occurred when you manually updated a task's start or due date. You can still manually change the start and/or due date of a dependent task. However, once you do, that task is now under your manual control and will no longer be changed automatically by Flowsana. If you want to adjust a task and still keep it under workflow control, the way to change it is to adjust its Duration and/or Lag Time fields; if you do that, it will remain under automatic control.
Auto-Assign Workflows
- Just as with Dynamic Duration workflows, you can choose to include weekend days in a workflow by unchecking the Skip Weekends option.
Rules: New Condition
A new rule condition has been added:
- When a new form is submitted...
What's that - Subtasks, you say?
One of the biggest requests I hear is, "Will Flowsana work with subtasks? I want to include subtasks among my dependent tasks" or "I want to build a rule that applies to subtasks".
I'm excited to announce that work to fully support subtasks in Flowsana is underway! I expect it should be available in the next month or so. "Watch this space" for more details soon.
