A workflow takes place over time with a starting point and an ending point. The alpha version of WorkflowLab didn’t give you any visual indicator regarding how long that workflow actually took, making it difficult to understand the workflow’s scale and scope.
With the beta release of WorkflowLab we have added the ability to customize the grid of your interactive chart to represent intervals of time to give your workflow items a grid to help add more information regarding the workflow’s time. When you create a new workflow, you are able to define the type of grid you want. You can use the freeform grid that is on by default, or define a duration based grid and define the intervals of the grid and the visual gaps of the grid.
With a duration based grid, the gridlines on the interactive chart display duration markers at the top that you can use as guides for your workflow items.
While not a true duration based system, the duration grids help add more duration based information to your documented workflows.
We have made other enhancements and improvements to WorkflowLab, and we are all excited to release it and get it in your hands and get your additional feedback on the product. I’ll be providing more information on the WorkflowLab beta when it is released on Adobe Labs at (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/workflowlab).
