Managing shared activity process variations

The Process Variant Management Add-on helps you to simplify the management and control of process variations. The Process Variant Management Add-on allows you to share content across processes that belong to a similar category. Use the Process Variant Management Add-on to:

  • Simplify the management of multiple processes.
  • Eliminate duplicate processes.
  • Meet the requirements of specific locations, products, services, or customers.
  • Capture variations across your organisation.
  • Share activities between processes.

Example:  If you require a set of processes with small differences across different areas, you can create a variation of a single process or create several variations within a variation category. You can then easily share and track shared content across the variations. To use process variations navigate to Admin > Variation.

  • Create up to twenty variations of a process.
  • Reduce complexity within processes.
  • Increase consistency and control of process variations.
  • Improve process relevance and compliance for different scenarios.
  • Improve standardization of processes (saves time and costs).
  • Use shared activities across variations and select the variations to which they apply.
  • Easily unlink a shared activity for variation-specific changes.

You can create two types of variations in Nintex Process Manager:

  • Variation categories that are common across different types of processes. For example: many processes might have variations for different regions, or variations for different customer types.
  • Process specific variations that apply to a single set of process variations.
