4 months ago I forgot:
-
add a workflow option to prevent/allow overlapping executions of the very same workflow
-
for "Repeat task" and "while loop" please display the current loop number
-
for lines please do reconsider the automatic deletion on double click. I would expect double click to have a different option btu if you really want to delete do prompt for confirmation first.
-
when in the logs, if you click on a running task and you get the full log details IMO you shouldn't be allowed to click the stop button from there, it's counter-intuitive. You woud expect while on log details for a specific workflow to have the "close details" where you currently see the stop button instead.
-
Please allow the Delay to have a name for the sake of identifying which is which in the logs.
A couple of relatively simple changes that would improve the UI experience:
Once you create a work flow, and you close the tab, it's difficult to find your way on how to re-edit it. From the Dashboard you have a list of options like Rename, Duplicate, Delete. Why is Edit missing from such menu? I would expect to find it in there. I did work out that clicking on the workflow does edit it still I think this suggestion to add the edit in the menu is very important.
Please do make the editing window resizeable and behaving like a "normal" window e.g. double-click on the task bar expands to desktop size automatically. Firefox relevant on Chrome it works fine.
Allow for the boxes to be resized. This is not only visual, it really helps the logic. Some conditions are very important and in my mind have sense being placed in a larger box, others are just checks and controls and can stay in a small box.
It is totally not intuitive to have to go in the Logs to stop a running task. You can have it in there as well but man... you have a Play icon, how about a "[ ]" Stop icon before it?
Once again on this topic the logs does the job, but it would be great if you could transform the play icon into a spinning wheel that gives the sense of: "hey I'm running!"
Add some sort of animation or something to see where the workflow is at any given time, e.g. a shadow under the box executing the task, this is particularly significant when you do intensive usage of "Delay" and "Repeat". You might also want to use a red shadow under the box that failed. The box processing and any failure are currently only spotted in the logs.
Say you have a path defined in a condition, and you want to move to a while loop, there is currently no way to drag and drop the path from a condition to a while. This would help!
It seems like recording can only be done on new workflows only. Could you allow this to be part of a manually edited flow?
That said... WELL DONE! What a piece of software. I have automated few extremely boring taks already and regain hours and hours of free time :-)
