Windchill X-20 has a new Workflow Process Administration UI

X-20 has a great new Workflow Process Administration Utility that simplifies the job of monitoring workflows in Windchill.

In the past administrators were not able to easily find or fix workflows that had stalled or experienced a fault. In some cases it even required knowledge of queues to figure things out.

In Release X-20 (Release 10.0) it's now possible for most business owners to find all the workflow process in their area and inspect their health in one simple step. There is no need to have special knowledge or visit each project in succession. And, for site and organization administrators there is a way to find all workflow processes across the entire Windchill System in a single step.

I've attached a single screen shot from our demonstration server to show the health status of workflow processes. We intentionally created a number of workflows and messed-them up a bit to show how we can event diagnose warning and error conditions. The health status column shows which processes need attention.

There are are a number of actions to fix or repair the most common error, warning and exceptional conditions in a few clicks.
