Improve Workflow Process History (SignOffs)
The Workflow History Report is a testament to taste and style. At least it was at the time it was designed – the early 2000s. A time were Aras was working with state of the art 4:3 CRT monitors – just like everybody else.
Much of their very special “feeling for usability” can actually be explained with 640 x 480 pixels!
Anyway, let´s see if we can bring this one to the present by adding the following improvements:
- Use space more efficiently
- Don´t mix-up votes when delegating a task
- Show latest activities first
- Offer more room for vote comments
Current Situation
Step 1
Customize Method Workflow History Report. Add the property created_on into select statement. We need this one to fix the mixed up delegation sort order.
Step 2
Customize Report Workflow Process History. This steps will increase the overall size of the vote dialog. Just increase this little value in the Workflow Process History and instantly you will make Aras HD ready!
Step 3
Customize Report Workflow Process History. With this little change you can revert the sort order of SignOffs and give the comments column more space.
Result
The tiny little chances above will lead to the following result:
Isn´t it fascinating how easy it is to solve the Brexit with an Express ECO?
