Start workflows automatically on a schedule
Also listed as: Scheduled workflow triggers
What is it?
Xelence can start a workflow automatically from a scheduled batch job, a task that runs in the background at set times, instead of waiting for someone to start it by hand.
Why does it matter?
Recurring work, such as periodic reviews or renewals, starts on time without manual effort.
Start thinking about
- Are your key business processes documented, and are they followed the same way across teams?
- Where are your biggest backlogs, delays or missed service targets today?
- Which decisions in your workflows must always stay with a person?
- How will staff roles and workloads change as more routine steps are automated?
- Who owns each process, and who approves changes to it before deployment?
- How will you sequence process changes with Xelence upgrades and staff training?
