Reduce mistakes in workflow design by harnessing the BPMN diagram to better guide the user

As a workflow designer I want to be guided by the visual design tool to make the right choices when setting criteria for start nodes and gateways.

E.g.

  • When showing Events for a gateway criteria, don't show events related to future intermediate events.

  • For the Start Event item criteria, don't show events related to intermediate events. (They can only ever occur AFTER the start node has been evaluated.)

  • Offer the nearest previous event as the most likely event the user is going to want to pick on the gateway node.

  • On a Start Node, make it clearer which validity item belongs to the document and to the space.

  • Etc.

Practical use of functionality?

Ensure the review event is inspected when checking the outcome of the review. (And not the approval event.)

What is the impact of not doing this?

Reliable workflows will take longer to build without improved guide rails.
