Re-implement Workflow Designer

The current state of the Workflow designer could be improved in several dimensions. The flow charting design tool is erratic and difficult to use, arbitrarily redrawing the canvas (and not in a particularly usable manner). The actual objects do not fully integrate (with hyper links) to the various other components that are frequently integrated into a workflow process (for example, dependencies on scripts, relationships,...). Because of limitations in the design tool, it isn't always clear to users that there are alternative and perhaps better approaches to a solution. The addition of user defined blocks/tasks could simplify more sophisticated common sub operations within a workflow (for example, pass an approval up by successive approval limits,...). There should be more flexibility out of the box to trigger workflow operations. Finally, a unified approach to implementing the representation of the designer canvas might provide a new user friendly method to see where the process is for a given record in workflow, rather than once again bouncing from one screen to another to understand the status of the process.

    Whilst not a perfect match you could export the workflows to Visio and then compare the downloaded steps in Excel to map them to the workflow nodes.
