Features

All features released in 18.5.0 are part of Early Access.

Early Access

How to enable Early Access features

Go to Administration → Server Settings
Navigate to the Early Access tab
Toggle the Early Access features you would like to enable

New Diagram Experience

The New Diagram Experience Early Access feature is now stable and will launch in May with v19.0. If you turn this feature on and have feedback on where we are headed we would like to hear from you. Please submit a ticket to the Service Desk to do so.

This feature may be turned on or off by users individually while the feature is in Early Access, separately from the Server Setting. Navigate to: Profile Picture in top right → My Profile → Early Access and toggle New Diagram Experience

Note: This update changes left and right mouse button functions when the New Diagram Experience Early Access feature is enabled. Learn more about UI Plans in the Product Blog.

See 24.04.16 v19.0 New Icons, Tree Ordering, and more for more details on changes that are still in development and part of the New Diagram Experience that will launch with v19.0.

Process Simulation

Simulations may be run on diagrams of any type. Use Simulations to improve decision confidence, ask “what if?” style questions, and forecast business outcomes that incorporate all available data. Process360 Live Simulation is a Discrete Event simulation engine that tracks and models every event at every step in the process for the specified simulation duration.

Simulation looks best with the New Diagram Experience enabled. It is recommended, though not required, to enable New Diagram Experience when planning to use Process Simulation.

To get started with Simulation, select a Diagram, open the hamburger menu, and select “ Create Simulation Project”

Note: Process Simulation is entering Early Access and has many more features planned for development before releasing to General Access.

Visio Import - Now Cloud Only

Visio Import in Process360 Live is improved, with particular improvements handling custom shapes in Visio diagrams. Visio import has a set of documented limitations.

Visio Import in Process360 Live is now a Cloud Only feature. This change is a result of Visio Import using a Cloud Service to assist in the Visio Import process.
