Type.  itmSUITE® call it Ticket type.

  • Status Workflow status
  • How Workflow status are connecting. Is only a one direction transtion, from status A to B, or we can came back to A, bidirectional transition.
  • Which one of the idenfied Workflow status' is a Final Status?

Once we have drawn our process we have to think which Resource , or better witch Role can be enabled to execute the transition. Then we can design the Form and give a grant to the Resource.

Workflow Roles

The li

At workflow level a user can be configure with 17 roles. Roles can be:

  • Static , Application Level type
  • Dynamic , Project / Service or Workflow roles type

Static Role are the once assigned to the user, Dynamic role are configured to the resource due to is belonging to a Service or a Solution Group or a Client Organization Unit or because the resource act as Creator of Ticket

Here below the table with the role description:

Workflow Status

itmSUITE® enable the user to create how many status is needed to deploy is workflow. When the user create the workflow, the system create for him 9-legacy status:

  • Default
  • Opened
  • Defined
  • Runinng
  • In Charge
  • Completed
  • Closed
  • Reopened
  • Cancelled

this status are called legacy, because the system act in a particular way when they are reached by ticket

The Administrator can create others status that will be used to drown the desire workflow

Define a Transition

Transition are the connection between status. Definie a transition means:

  • select starting status , say Defualt
  • select ending status , say Opened
  • choose the role authorized to perform this transtion, e.g. Creator

We can create a One-way transition or bi-directional transition.

Many roles can be enabled to perform a single transition.

Form Designer

User interact with the workflow via Ticket form. To create a Ticket form the administator can :

  • Identify the necessary standard field
  • Create custom field
  • Create Form layout

Form designer , think a form as a blank page, than the administator can create Sections, and devide it in columns and compose the page inserting the fields.


Grant Management

Administrator can keep Visible or Mandatory some field based on Ticket Statusand Resource role

For example, Ticket creator see the necessary fields to define an issue, but Service desk operator that keep in charge the issue has available the first set of fields plus the once necessary to Categorize and Analyse the issue. When the Ticket will be completed the Ticket creator should have the orignal set of fields plus the solution.
