Sequenced tasks within the Change Request.

Sequenced tasks within the Change Request.

Dear all,

 

Would it be possible to use sequenced tasks within the Change Request process. Making a proposed solution and a impact analysis during the CR often needs the input of multiple departments. It would be a nice feature to use tasks to manage. 

The structured tasks available in the CN process looks perfect for this job but what is the route to get this also available in the CR? Lots of programming / customization?  Are there other parties who have this implemented?

 

Best regards,

Dennis Varkevisser

Hello @Dennis_V_NL 

I understand what you need but Change Request does not support Change Task links

ChangeTask is a Windchill object same as the ChangeRequest.

Each object have a Workflow definition where the user(wf) tasks are managed. 

 

So generally you can define own workflow where you would have a specific set of tasks that are run by your specific order.

Thanks for your reply Petr, 

 

The nice thing about the sequneces tasks is that you can alter according to the situation.  For some change requests the Design-department is in the lead followed by for instance purchasing and certification.  For other CR's the Manufacturing department is in the lead and no design-department input is needed. And this is difficult in a defined workflow.  We tried to determine a fixed amount of needed predefined workflows and we came to 20 so practically unusable....

Hi @Dennis_V_NL 

It depends. You can create several WF with huge logic that only a rout your needs.

 

Also you can move from ChangeRequest object to change Notice object where you can use the task sequence. 

In my point of view it does not matter if you use CHangeNotice for your change request tasks.

you can define subtypes of CN and CTasks and use it instead of Change Request.

You can set a business rules that you can connect Change notice to an another change notice by reference link,
