Improving User Experience and Collaboration for Streamlined Automation: Release 3.16
Flowable 3.16 is out now! This release brings a combination of enhancements and new features, focusing on providing an outstanding user experience for even better automation. Let’s have a look in detail:
Better overview of key components for automation
With release 3.16, Flowable's dynamic visual editor, Flowable Design, features a brand-new dashboard that provides an at-a-glance overview of an app's key components. This dashboard displays primary models such as case and process models, page models, app revisions, and documents, allowing users to quickly grasp the structure and status of each application. The new dashboard significantly improves efficiency by minimizing the time spent navigating and inspecting individual components. It ensures better organization and clarity, helping all team members understand the app's structure and progress.
Improved cross departmental collaboration with plug-ins
Many enterprises use Flowable centrally and aim to ensure that every department uses consistent tasks in their models for easier maintenance and scalability. To facilitate this, release 3.16 introduces a new concept called plug-ins.
Like apps, plug-ins are designed for modelers who create artefacts, such as tasks, which can be shared within an organization and even between organizations. This centralization allows for the same tasks to be defined once and then shared and reused across different processes. Plug-ins improve application flexibility and scalability by allowing organizations to tailor workflows to their specific operational needs and industry requirements. This ensures that consistent, reusable components are available, promoting efficient and cohesive process management across the entire enterprise.
Increased accuracy with a new comparison view
With Flowable 3.16, we have significantly enhanced the versioning of case and process models. While versioning was available in previous releases, Flowable 3.16 introduces a visual comparison feature for old and new models. This allows end users to easily identify the root causes of issues. By visually comparing different versions, users can swiftly implement changes, enhancing both transparency and accuracy.

Higher operational efficiency with prioritization
Enterprises need to manage an increasing backlog of processes and tasks according to business priorities. Flowable 3.16 introduces new custom task filters, allowing users to focus on tasks based on their importance. This feature enables automation teams to categorize and prioritize tasks, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring that critical tasks are addressed promptly.
Refined migration capabilities
Flowable 3.16 allows for seamless migration without interrupting running cases and processes. Critical process elements, such as timer configurations and boundary events, are preserved, ensuring quick transitions and minimal disruptions. The enhanced migration support ensures smooth transitions and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Upcoming AI integration
Soon you will be able to model processes and cases with the help of GPT-enabled integration in Flowable Design. Stay tuned for more information on Flowable’s new AI features.
