Solutions (V2)

helix_config_solutionsv2_ebene1.png

The Solutions menu item provides options for creating custom solutions and for copying and editing the solutions that come with the software (prefix sys_).

Solutions are positioned upstream of workflows. When work items are created, the selected solution determines which processing path (that is, which workflow) is used for the work item. A workflow must be assigned to at least one solution in order to be used. The upstream placement of solutions ensures that external systems do not require modification when a workflow is updated or changed.

The following solutions come with the software:

Name

sys_AppCaptureValidate

sys_AppCaptureSAP
