Workflow Design

[dgowland]

I am having issues installing the jBPM on windows 7 64bit.

I need to create the attached process. First of all I need to know if this is possible.

Does anyone know of a freelancer that can create this workflow and cost ?

Also will it work in the community version ?

Seems normal workflow. You anyway you should explain step by step with more detail. Form data related with each task node. Documents creation on each task, security on it etc... Possible more complex than is hown in graphic but seems possible ( normal )

We currently use a system called Kelros based around Lotus Notes and Domino Server.

I have the task of replacing the Kelros (DMS) to another. The only stumbling block is this CAR (Corrective Action Request).

Workflow

Internal Audit is planned and a meeting request is sent, which is either approved or declined (If declined another meeting request is sent).

System will email auditor if meeting request is not actioned either way in a certain amount of time.

Internal Audit completed at agreed date and document submitted and uploaded to DMS

If Audit is clean the action complete

If a CAR is raised then actions and timescales agreed (Another document) raised and sent to nominated individuals and notified.

I have asked this question via the contact us page but all they wanted was to sell the profesional version. Which we will but only when the system can complete the above Health and Safety Corrective Action Request (CAR).

If CAR is not completed then resend above action else save document and action complete.

As I am not sure of jBPM is this something that can be done.

Questions

Does openKM have a meeting scheduler or can send meeting to outlook ?

Will openKM wait for the response for approval / Decline ?

As for the system itself it ticks all the right boxes.

JBPM like other any BMP gives you the basis for doing anything. Obviously much power means by default you got the basis ( objects task, transaction etc... ) and with it you must build you r logic. Part of the logic can be send specific mail with some format ( vcard for outlook or other systems etc... ), the bad news are as I said BMP gives you the basis, box and lines between box, but the logic between nodes and the nodes must be written ( code ) to build your specific logic. Consider that BMP give you the platform you build your workflow and this workflow can do what you wish, but obvisouly must be written not from zero, but you only got the basic low level objects, for example you do not have e-mail box, but you can code in few lines of code the logic to send some mail.

Hope this will be able to clarify you.
