On the 3th of November Engage! Modeler 4.1 was released.
This release has a lot of new functionality in it based on customer input. The focus creating this release was on usability, so you can create you customer journey faster and it’s easier to communicate. The most important features are:
-
Auto Save: you can decide on making a backup of your file each couple of minutes. If something happens then you’re able to recover your file so you won’t lose (much) work.
-
Expand sub processes/services: In Engage! Modeler 4.1 you’re able to expand sub processes so the content of these sub processes are visible on the higher level. This makes it possible to print the whole process on one level.
-
Input and Output: it’s now possible to specify input and output for each activity and make it visible in the process diagram.
-
Printing: printing out of Engage! Modeler is improved. The text is always sharp now independent of the zoom factor and icons aren’t spread over two pages. You can also use the “shrink to fit” option and decide how much pages horizontally or vertically you want to have. Besides these points it’s also possible to export to Word in A3-format.
Besides the above there are some other improvements, such as:
-
Changing the order of swim lanes;
-
The column with role names in the swim lane view is fixed so it will stay there even when you’re moving your process to the right;
-
Values of self-defined measures can be entered using the mini property editor;
-
Time measures can now also be entered as hh:mm:ss (hours, minutes, seconds);
-
A meeting will appear in each lane of participating roles in swim lane view;
-
When you double click on a process link the linked process will be opened on a separate tab page.
Initial customers that have used the pre-released version are enthusiastic and remark that Engage! Modeler now stands out even more as the process improvement tool of choice which can be used in workshops.
