What's New?
To better understand what business case our evaluation customers are seeking to achieve when installing Comala Document Control the workflow picker now has the option to select a business use option from a drop-down menu before choosing a workflow to apply.
The workflow picker will then display all the available workflows including any custom workflows. The first workflow displayed in the picker will be prioritized for the chosen business case use. A user can choose the option to Skip the request.
This business use option will be available in our evaluation version each time a workflow is added to the content. It is aimed to help in the development of additionally available workflows and features within the Comala Document Control app.
