⭐Improvements
Process Efficiency Visualization 📊
As a process owner, you now have the ability to visualize efficiency percentages for each activity within your process. This enhancement empowers informed decision-making regarding activities that require optimization attention.
How to use it:
Navigate to the process you want to review and access the Efficiency tab.
On top of each activity, locate the label displaying the efficiency percentage.
Efficiency is calculated using work time and cycle time information: Efficiency (%) = (Work Time / Cycle Time) * 100.
The efficiency calculation takes into account the value-added or non-value-added status, where non-value-adding activities assume 0% efficiency.
If any activity lacks cycle time information, it will be displayed as blank and won’t impact the efficiency calculation.
Enhancing User-Friendly Table Customization 🛠️
Improve your user experience with a more user-friendly and theme-aligned column selection modal for customizing table displays.
How to use it:
Navigate to any table and click on “Filter Columns.”
Easily customize table views by selecting/deselecting columns using associated checkboxes.
Utilize a convenient search bar to effortlessly locate specific columns, with dynamic updates as you type.
Streamlined Pain v.s. Gain Diagram
Simplify the Pain v.s. Gain diagram by removing the scale from the axis, providing a cleaner and more intuitive visual representation.
How to use it:
Navigate to a dashboard and add the Pain v.s. Gain widget.
The quadrant name will help you understand the position of each process without the need for an axis scale.
Enhanced FAQ
Revamp the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section to encompass various updates, providing extensive support to users. Beyond BWL account linking, find answers to all your inquiries in one centralized location.
How to use it:
Locate the question mark icon in the sidebar for quick access.
Navigate to the FAQ section within the help modal.
Explore a wealth of updated information covering multiple aspects of the product.
Streamlined Pain Assessment Editing
Improve the pain assessment editing process for a more intuitive and direct user experience. No more unnecessary redirects; seamlessly transition to pain assessment settings for efficient editing.
How to use it:
Click “Edit Assessment” to be automatically redirected to the specific pain assessment settings page.
Edit assessment details directly on the settings page, eliminating unnecessary steps.
On-Demand Process Refresh
Empower users with the ability to manually refresh processes imported from process mining. A dedicated button ensures you always have access to the latest process versions, keeping your information up to date.
How to use it:
In the model section of the process, locate the new “Refresh from Process Mining” button.
Click the button to trigger the update process.
