Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Enable Task Details to be set on a Decision Activity (Workflow)

At enactment, a decision workflow does not support the setting of:

• Task priority

• Task initial comments

• Biz object associations

In fact task priority is hardcoded in the OOTB DecisionActivity code.

This means that the client has to write additional custom code to have a post processing step after the workflow has completed to set the above appropriately.

This in contrast to a generic task workflow which supports the setting of all the above at enactment. As the decision workflow creates a task, it shold support the client required settings for these task attributes at enactment without a custom post processing step.

According to PD support this is 'as designed' so rather than a miss/defect, the request to support this needs to be enhancement.

Customer Name Scottish Government
Persona Based Summary

As the system I want to be able to set appropriate task variables before enacting a decision workflow so that I don't have to have an additional custom post processing step to set them.
Market Segment Eligibility & Entitlement
Type of Request Idea
Market Opportunity

Provides more flexibilty in the product and would be consistent with the other areas of the workflow framework that supports task setting of attributes at enactment.

Less custom effort for the client and easy to "sell" it to existing and new clients.
Usage frequency + #/type of users impacted

Tasks are used significantly in the SG solution but this decision workflow is a great way of ensuring client advisors have performed required actions associated to the task.

We expect it will used more and more as an alternative to a normal task, provide better/easier MI on what actions a client advisor made.
CURAM:Workarounds + Proposed Solution

There is a custom post processing step that involves 2 actions:


1. Updates the task priority and adds the initial comment
2. Creates the biz object associations.
