Questions & Answers

Q. In discussing the Workflow requirements you list a requirement as “Supports different types of measurement.” Can you clarify; is this a question related to currency and metric vs. SAE, etc.?

A. During a process, we need to capture 2 types of measurement. One related to how long the process took, when it was started, when the status changed, when it was assigned to a different role by process, by stage, by role.

The other measurement we are looking for, are ways to capture fields entered in the process, such as monetary, or counts, and make those available to basic reports.

Q. Another requirement is for “Just in time assignment.” Can you elaborate on what you mean by “just in time assignment?”

A. Assignment of a Process should be done systematically based on role assignment, or, have the ability to setup rules which enable to system to make process assignments by applying the business rules.

The system should also allow for manual assignment, where a user can take ownership of a process, or a manager can re-assign a process from one user to another.
