Posted By Jan Locher 12-16-2021 07:55
Found In Egroup: Data360 Govern \ view thread
Hey all I just wanted to ask if there is a specific functionality for adding technical users? We have several systems that will interact with our Govern environment. These systems need a user account with their own API key & secret (for audit reasons). However, there seems to be just the normal ...

Hey I might have requested this feature/enhancement once via email, but I cannot find it anymore. Anyway, it is possible to use almost every field type for conditional routing between Workflow elements. Well, except for the type "Link". My Use Case: When a user submits a change request to a ...

Found In Egroup: Data360 Govern \ view thread

Found In Egroup: Data360 Govern \ view thread
Hey all While working with Workflows I have always had a necessity for some kind of Information Notification in Govern. So here's my idea: For example, whenever a user submits a request that does not need any approval from a Steward, a Notification should get sent out to the Steward so that ...

Found In Egroup: Data360 Govern \ view thread
Hey all During the last months I have extensively created Workflows. One major issue that caught my eye was the messy overview of Workflows that can be generated due to an almost inexistent structure system. One obivous choice would be ordering the Workflows with characters and numbers. As ...

Found In Egroup: Data360 Govern \ view thread
Hey all One of the biggest issue we are facing right now with Workflows is the very complex approach for allocating Workflow Actions. Although the current approach is somewhat okay for people who use Govern extensively, it is very unintuitive for people new to Govern or people not working often ...
