Initial thoughts on the Introduction of the “Filter” option on the “My Changes” page.
It is so good that now “New Processes”, “Process Changes” and “Document changes” are visible on the same list. We used to have so many instances where people would miss important changes because they would only check “New Processes” tab but not the “Document Changes” tab and vice versa.
It’s also an improvement that you can see “Documents for approval” and “Processes for approval” in one lit as well!!
I only wish now we could separate out “Approvals” from “Changes”, such as through an ability to multi-select from the filter or an introduction of a combined filter “All Approval items” and a “All Changes” filter?
There is a risk that a user is going to misread the type of change as they are going down the list and approve something, thinking they were marking it as seen.
It would be great if we could filter by other attributes such as “Involvement”, “Age” or even the Process Group of that particular change (especially useful for Promasters or governance roles who want to see how are particular area is doing).
I really wish there was an ability to search for specific items on the “My Changes” tab.
A common scenario is a Process Owner is reminded that they need to approve a specific process however there are multiple items on their list, and they struggle to find the specific process that is pending their approval.
It would be great if we could have a summary number visible on the “My Changes” page to reflect the number of each type of change pending the user's attention. This will give the user better visibility over the quantum of what they need to do and help gamify the experience as they try and get the number down to zero.
For example:
It can say at the top right-hand corner:
1 New Process
3 Process Changes
2 Processes for approval
0 Processes for publishing
Could we get banded/shaded rows on this view just to make it easier on the eyes?
