Well if that's how you choose to take it. :) There is functionality to nest processes inside other processes but I am not sure how confusing that would get and I've never tried it. I think there's a visualized though that let's the user see the graphical representation of the process. Maybe if Mark Herring or Chris Jones is reading this, they can expand upon it.

Don't think of it as a hierarchy where you have parent/child/grandchild etc... Visually within Task Management, it will look like a bunch of Sequence 1 tasks listed in the Tasks table of an Inc/Chg/Pbm. The flow is controlled via the process you build within the GUI tool of Designer. Think of a vizio workflow being built and then the flow being enforced by workflow within Remedy. However to the end user, they just see a list of tasks.

The reason it doesn't come with ARS is probably because in order to get your processes that you build to work within Remedy, it needs to leverage Task Management. That is the underlying engine that your processes use to actually enforce the flows you build. It's all within TMS. Because of that, you also cannot insert Ad-Hoc tasks in there as it would break the pre-built nature of the process flow. The whole idea is to enforce a standard process. Ad-Hoc would break that in most cases. On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 12:17 PM, Susan Palmer <suzanpal...@gmail.com> wrote: ** And what happens if you're not an ITSM user, a custom only shop.

You can download a copy of it from EPD within ITSM Suite area. These are the benefits of process designer Process Designer is the quickest and most cost effective way of implementing new processes such as Change and Service requests. Remedy customers can quickly and easily implement processes graphically using Process Designer without resorting to customisation or having to update multiple complex templates. This means implementing processes takes a fraction of the time it would without Process Designer. Process Designer is a tool for process designers that provides a graphical interface to build processes that can be executed on Remedy without the need to develop new applications or customise existing applications or templates. Process Designer is particularly beneficial for systems that require multiple different processes and tasks depending on the type of request such as Change Management, Service Request Management and Incident/Problem Management. *The benefits of using Process Designer with Remedy are:* 1. Processes that fit the business - Process Designer allows you to implement processes that fit the business exactly without having to customise existing bespoke or out of the box applications. 2. Business user get what they want - Business users know what they are getting as they are able to understand and review the process in graphical form exactly as it is implemented. 3. Fast Deployment at lower Cost - Process designers use a simple graphical interface to implement processes without needing to customise Remedy. 4. Reduced Support and Upgrade Costs - Remedy Administrators have reduced time and effort in supporting the Remedy applications as there is no additional development or customisation. Significant effort is also saved in upgrading as Remedy applications are not customised. 5. Streamlined processes – Process Designer allows the automation of processes through the implementation of automated actions removing the necessity of manual intervention where possible. 6. Adherence to management, compliance and audit requirements – Not only is the process diagram a self documenting description of the process as implemented but also the Process Tracker provides a diagrammatic view of the current status and historical flow of every transaction through the process. 7. Simplified User Interface – Process Designer enables decision trees to be built quickly to provide a simplified user interface for data required to support processes. This ensures user productivity and consistent quality data. 8. Automated Version Control – Process Designer includes automated generation of version-stamped processes so that you can easily roll-back to or report on usage of previous versions without the need to get into any workflow development. Process Designer provides these benefits through a graphical interface that allows process designers to build processes that can be executed within Remedy based on tasks, dependencies, decisions, rules (such as Task Assignment and SLAs ,actions such as get user data, updates fields and send emails).

What we need is be able to see the system workflow and forms relationship in a pictorial way instead of doing it ourself via the dev studio and show relationship feature. Is there any such thing avaliable in real which can tell me that this is my application structure and this is how the forms are related to each other or I sholud better get going with the manual way of finding it out?
