Export of ICs and BPMs

[Stephen.whittle]

Recently we have had the need to document a list of questions asked for each PC/IC and also visualise the workflow (BPM) branches based on the repsonses to question answers. Currently you can export ICs and BPMs to a definition file which is useful for sharing with our Hornbill users but doesn't allow a readble format of the e-form and workflow. 

Could this export feature be added whereby Hornbill can export the BPM in a vision style. If this can also be enabled as a functionality to export IC/PCs to a PDF or word format whereby it shows the questions asked on the e-form. 

We regularly have to produce Visio documents and word documents to demonstrate what is asked and when and how that influences the workflow for our service offerings. Creating and maintaining this is effort in itself and is effectively duplicating what we already have configured in Hornbill.

Hi @Stephen.whittle

Would the print option be of any help?

 

You can add notes to your workflow which are included in the printout.  Not only would this help with the printout, but also for anyone viewing the workflow.  You may want to add notes, such as which Request Catalog Items that use this capture.  Lots you can do there.  A bit of extra time adding this information can help a lot when viewed by others later on.

The printout would look like this...

Thanks James will give it a go and see how well it presents for some of our busier more complex bpms and ICs.
