Improve Data Consistency & Governance: Favorites allow for the creation of standardized, one-click submission templates, ensuring that processes are always started with the correct information.
-
Enhance User Adoption: By bringing TotalAgility functionality directly to the user in a familiar application, this plugin lowers the barrier to entry and increases adoption of your automated processes.
