  • Advanced Workflow: more flexibility in process development- increased flexibility with the import and export of Process Definitions will enable users to design, execute, iterate and perfect Workflows in development and staging environments.
  • Advanced Workflow: many to many relationships- increased efficiency by allowing a user to trigger an action based on what’s happening across multiple records
  • Advanced Workflow: incorporating human actions into processes- creating processes that combine human tasks with automated aspects or escalations
