We have had a replacement of one of our key legacy systems with many of our processes now irrelevant as a result. The task of cleaning up has proven to be time consuming, frustrating and impossible to do within the application. I appreciate the concern about safely archiving the processes, but not at the cost of losing engagement of our staff with irrelevant processes now residing in our Promapp and being included in searches, reporting and dashboard.
Features that would improve the archiving process from my point of view are:
1. Allowing the user to archive a process while linked to other processes by graceful unlinking while highlighting the gaps
2. Allowing the user to archive a process group with all its processes and links to other processes and documents all at once (instead of each process underneath separately, first having to remove all the links)
3. Allowing the user to choose the method of archiving; either item 1 or item 2 above
4. Removing the āTo Doā items from My dashboard when a process is archived (this currently only happens when archived process is permanently deleted)
5. When archiving a process return the user back to where the archived process was stored i.e. to archive the next process in the process group
Yes, I am literally in Nintex Ideas thread specifically to request this feature. Currently, the very strict restrictions on archiving when something is associated to a process is an abomination of process.
