Gemma Morrison Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi, Within a BPM I know you can skip a checkpoint stage, however this would still appear in the heads up display, would there be a way of potentially hiding a stage you do not require for that p0articlaur request at all? The screenshot below shows 2 different stages 'amendment of supplier' and 'new supplier' I was wondering if it would be possible to hide either of these depending on the request that has been logged via the request category.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Ainsworth Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi Gemma, If I understand correctly, you are skipping entire stages. So, in your example you are going straight to the end after the second stage? I believe that this setting might help. This typically works with the Next Stage node, so if you skip a stage using the Next Stage node, it hides the stages that you skipped. If you have an End node in your second stage instead of an Next Stage node, I'm not sure without testing if this setting still applies. Keep in mind that it would only hide the stage once it has been skipped. Regards, James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemma Morrison Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 @James Ainsworth Hi James, hope you are well. I have only just got round to looking into this setting! I have applied the setting and can't seem to figure out where to place the end node in order to skip certain checkpoint stages. In my picture screenshot above I am trying to skip 'amendment of supplier' for an example to then go straight to resolution and feedback... is this possible at all?

James Ainsworth Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hi Gemma, You would need to use a Next Stage node within the In Progress Stage and have it set to go to the Resolution and Feedback Stage. With the setting mentioned above being turned on, the two stages in between would be hidden. Hope that helps. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Morrison Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 @James Ainsworth Hi James, Hope you are well. Sorry to be a pain! I have got it working, yay! However within some of those stages we have skipped we have some authorisation tasks for the team to complete, is there a way of keeping these at all? or would I need to pop them into the 'in progress' stage?

James Ainsworth Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hi Gemma, It is an all or nothing when it comes to skipping a stage. If you want these authorisations to always take place then you will need to move these from the stage that can be skipped. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
