Morning Session Transcript

  • Issues are primarily related to integration with external systems.

  • Current workflows are isolated, causing difficulties when integrating forms into broader business processes.

  • CHEFS can manage form creation, submission, review, and approval.

  • Payment processing is external, and roles for personnel are manually assigned.

  • The current process requires separate handling of each form, causing redundancy and inefficiency when personnel are involved in multiple forms.

  • Forms become large and complex, especially when accounting for multiple business processes.

  • Role assignments must be repeated for each form, creating duplication.

  • Workflows are linear with limited collaboration capabilities, and role-based security can be too broad.

  • Notifications and integrations, while automated via webhooks, are limited to one endpoint and cannot scale across multiple systems.

  • User management and role assignment need to be unified across multiple forms and applications to reduce redundancy.

  • A more flexible workflow system is needed to accommodate complex, multistep processes.

  • The goal is to move user management outside of CHEFS so it can apply across different forms and applications.

  • Re-architect CHEFS to address these integration and scalability issues, including improving role assignment, user management, and workflow flexibility.
