<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn Questetra BPM Suite, an organization such as a company is represented by four pieces of information: user, organization, role, and position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- User represents each employee or member registered in the workflow platform. In the diagram above, it corresponds to an individual such as you or Sumatra<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Organization represents a department. In the diagram above, it corresponds to “Company Name”, “10 Management Department,” and “20 Sales Department.” The organizational information includes the hierarchical relationships between organizations, so you can say things like the Management Department is a subordinate organization of the Company<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Position can be set arbitrarily to indicate the position within a department, such as leader. In the above diagram, Sumatra can be expressed as the leader of the Management Department, and Galapagos can be expressed as the leader of the Sales Department<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
We will not go into details about roles as we will not be using them this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organization to which each individual belongs is included in the user information. Questetra BPM Suite has a simple organizational structure set up in advance. In the tutorial, we will use the set up organizations, but when using it in real business, please modify the organization settings to match the actual structure of your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add More Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s register more users. You can add users to Questetra one by one, and import users, via CSV input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registering Users in Bulk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s register users in bulk. When you log into the Workflow Platform, your user name is displayed on the right side of the menu bar. Click it to open the pull-down menu and select [System Settings].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis will open the [User List] page in System Settings, where you can enter CSV data using the [Bulk User Registration] button below the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Input screen for bulk user registration without setting passwords<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Notes for Each Setting Item<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
User Name<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
A mandatory setting. You can\u2019t create two or more users who have the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email Address<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
A mandatory setting. An email address cannot be registered for more than one user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Password<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
An optional setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- When not specified
Each user specifies their password at their first login.<\/li>\n\n\n\n - When specified
Login passwords are set for the users. The passwords must comply with the password policy.
*You can change this setting by going to [System Settings] -> [Login].<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nOrganization<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
An optional setting. Enter the name of an Organization (such as division, department, group, unit) registered on your Workflow Platform. You can specify the user\u2019s position in the organization by adding \u201c!!\u201d and the name of a position registered on the platform after the organization, such as \u201cSales Department!!Leader\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a template of CSV data for bulk user registration.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n
Sumatra,sumatra@example.test,Password##01,10 Management Department!!Leader<\/div>Canary,canary@example.test,Password##02,10 Management Department<\/div>Galapagos,galapagos@example.test,Password##03,20 Sales Department!!Leader<\/div>Oahu,oahu@example.test,Password##04,20 Sales Department<\/div><\/code><\/pre>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will add 4 users – Sumatra, Canary, Galapagos, and Oahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leave the email addresses as dummy addresses. In this tutorial, we will add test users using dummy addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please specify the passwords in accordance with the password policy*<\/sup>. If you use a dummy address, you will not receive an email and will not be able to set a password for the first login, so you will need to set a password at the time of bulk registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* You can check the password policy via the [Show Password Policy].

<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe dummy address and password you enter will be used for each user’s login, so please remember them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will use the pre-registered Organizations for this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the [Import Users] screen, paste the CSV data and click the [Confirm] button to display the confirmation screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Follow the link in the email to access the page and set your password (be sure to remember the password you set)
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-14.png?resize=450%2C399&ssl=1\")
<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modify Your User Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Confirm Your Organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By default, your user account is set to belong to all organizations. You can change this setting from your user details screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Click “User List” from the menu on the left side of the screen to open the User List in System Settings. (If “User List” is not in the menu, follow the same steps as before by clicking on your username in the top right and then on “System Settings.”)
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-15-1b.png?ssl=1\")
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Click on the row with your name and details<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The [Affiliation] section lists the organizations to which you belong. Check any organization other than the top-level organization and click [Delete]
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-16-1.png?resize=300%2C311&ssl=1\")
<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nNow the only organization you will belong to is the top-level organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The name of the top-level organization is “00 {Company name you entered when you registered for free}”. In the tutorial screenshot, it is set to “00 Whole Company”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changing the Icon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As a default everyone has the same icon as their profile picture. Let’s change the icon for just your user account so that you can tell users apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click the user name displayed in the top right of the page to open [Account Settings]. Here you can change the user name and icon of the account you’re logged in with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replace the icon with an appropriate image. If you’re not sure what image to use, you can use the icon below. This is Questetra’s mascot character, Ques-kun.
(Save the image in PNG format. In Chrome, right-click the image and select “Save link as”, and in Edge, select “Save link as.”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/QuesEyecatch_220_01.png?ssl=1\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis completes the setup of the environment! Let’s try using the workflow app again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run the App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now, let’s see how the Workflow App “Work Request Flow” works in a Case involving multiple users. Since you will be using two accounts in the procedure, please use two different browsers if possible (e.g. Firefox and Chrome).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you only have one browser, you can also log out and log back in with a different account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As in the previous chapter, let’s experience how tasks are operated. First, start the “Work Request Flow” with the following steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Click the [Workflow] tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click [
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/icon-start-1.png?resize=20%2C20&ssl=1\")
Start] on the left menu to display the list of apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Click the [
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/icon_start-and-do-first-task.png?resize=20%2C20&ssl=1\")
Start and Operate First Step] button on the “Work Request Flow” app<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe first task, [1. Input Requested], will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, the only thing you need to set is the destination, but this time, let’s select Canary. You can display a list by clicking the [Search] button, or you can narrow down your search by typing a few characters in the text box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-17-1.png?resize=532%2C318&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you have selected the recipient, click [Finish “1. Input Request”] to complete it, then click OK in the next dialog to finish the first task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next task [2. Reconfirmation\/Completion] is assigned to the person specified as the request recipient in the “Work Request Flow” app. This time, we specified Canary, so let’s log in to the Canary account in another browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch Between Users to Complete Tasks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you log in with your Canary account, the task you just requested will be available in My Tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/htmt3-20-1800en.png?resize=1083%2C719&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLet’s check the details of the Case by clicking the [
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/icon-details.png?resize=20%2C20&ssl=1\")
Details] button next to [Work Request Flow]. In the task “2. Reconfirmation\/Completion” in the workflow diagram, an icon representing Canary, who is the immediate person in charge of the task, is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-19.png?resize=1363%2C712&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Return to the My Tasks list and click the [
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/icon-operate-task.png?resize=18%2C18&ssl=1\")
Operate Task] button to operate task “2. Reconfirmation\/Completion”<\/li>\n\n\n\n - This is just practice, so do not fill in the form and select the [Reconfirmation] button at the bottom of the page<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
This should return the task to the requester. Let’s take a look at your account, the requester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like before, the task \u201c1x. Response to Reconfirmation\u201d has arrived in My Tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-20.png?resize=1120%2C584&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you check the workflow diagram from the [
Details] button, you’ll see that it’s designed to keep sending the task back until the requestee gives the OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo let’s proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Click the [ Operate Task] button to open the Task Operating screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click [Finish “1x. Response to Reconfirmation”] at the bottom of the page to complete the Case, and the token will be transferred to the requestee<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When you return to the account of the requestee, Canary, you’ll find another task, so operate it from the [Operate Task] button<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Just like before, but this time select [Completed] without sending it back<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
According to the workflow diagram, the next task is \u201c3. Confirmation of Completion\u201d, and the token should be sent to the requester. Switch to your account, the requester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complete the Case and See the Results!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Did the task reach the requester successfully? If so, operate it as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Task Operating screen, there are two options, [Re-request] and [Completed], but since you should now be familiar with how to proceed through the Case, select [Completed].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The token has progressed to the end event, so this Case is over! Let’s check from your account that started the Case to see if the Case is really complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open [
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/icon-process-processed.png?resize=23%2C23&ssl=1\")
Started Cases] in the left menu. The Case you just operated is in the list. If you look at the contents with the [Details] button, you can see that the token in the workflow diagram has properly reached the end event, and the Case has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/support.questetra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/beginner-tutorial-chpt3-en-21.png?resize=1024%2C268&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis concludes the tutorial on how to use existing apps. Next, let’s create your own workflow app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
