**Summary**: High-level overview of the upcoming workflow enhancements. Updated 8/20/2020.

## Overview

The **upcoming workflow enhancements** expand RiskSense’s workflow usability to reflect current usage and desired capabilities from customer interviews and feature requests. This project updates the four workflow types: **Severity Change**, **False Positive**, **Remediation **and **Risk Acceptance**.

### Workflow Enhancement Goals

- Roll out a **new card view design** with several updates and improvements.
- **Enhance the feature using customer-sourced use cases**, pain points, and challenges.
- Continue to build on **market-differentiating features** that RiskSense users have come to rely on.
- Adjust the menus to accommodate this new view and align things from feedback in **easier-to-find locations**.
- Provide an **easier-to-use** and more functional feature.

### Sample Customer Use Cases and Pain Points

- I need the ability to **see what is about to expire** so I can properly prepare for them.
- I really want the ability to **easily find items that have expired** in the platform.
- Can I have the ability to **see the impact** of a risk acceptance request in terms of assets, findings, and/or RCE/PE?
- How can RiskSense make it easy to ensure that performing an operation on** 7,000 findings** is something that can be approved/rejected/reworked **together **by the appropriate person and **tracked **easily?
- As a heavy user of your workflow system, I find it difficult to manage the approval and rejection of items since they are **not grouped** based on the request.
- Once I receive an email about an expiration and I login to the platform, I have **no way to search for those expired items**.
- It is critical to my organization that I **quickly and easily understandwhat each data ingestion** (upload/connector) that manipulates findings (reworks/remediates) **has done** regarding my vulnerabilities for review in my Monday morning Ops meeting.
- When I am rejecting/reworking a workflow, I really need to **see the information** from the request so that I can easily input the correct reason for my action.

### New Workflow Features

**Requester**

- **Name workflows** for easier understanding and identification of workflows.
- **View all workflow history**, even after they expire or are rejected.

**Approver**

- Perform **bulk workflow actions** that are quick and easy for the approver to evaluate and approve together.
- Easily approve workflows from various users with **little to no extra work involved** to find and identify them.
- Have **more information available** when performing approve/reject/rework actions on workflows.

**Both**

- Allow **multiple workflows** to be associated with a finding.
- **New workflows page** allows for easy consumption of the actions all users are taking on your vulnerability data.
- Easily find **upcoming workflow expirations**.
- Easily find **expired workflows**.
- Easily referenceable, **system-generated workflow identifiers** aid external system references such as documentation, emails, text messages, exports, and metric reporting.
- See the **impact **of a workflow in terms of assets and findings.
- **Easily identify workflows** upon receipt of expiration email.
- Find and track exactly what **any upload or API integrationhas done** in terms of **reworking** (opening) findings.
- Find and track exactly what **any upload or API integration has done** in terms of **closing**
- Easily **add **to an existing workflow.
- Easily **copy **any workflow.
- Updated look and feel for pop-ups for a **better user experience**.

### Changes to the Requester/Approver Process

**Requester**

- **Add items** to a previously submitted workflow easily.
- **Copy a workflow** easily to quickly perform actions that previously required a lot of manual work to recreate a previous workflow.

**Approver**

- Workflow approvals now done from a redesigned, easy to use **Workflow page** that shows workflows in a quick, understandable view.
- Workflow actions are easy for each workflow request **regardless of the finding count**, with no searching required.
- **More information** is now available while performing approve/reject/rework workflow actions.

**Both**

- **Removal of filters **previously used for the old workflow system (State & Severity Change State) on the findings pages. Six new filters will be available.
- Workflows now have a **new page** to search, filter, and identify in one easy place.
- **System generated IDs** for workflows now available for easy tracking and filtering.
  - E.g., RA#0003401, FP#0004275
- **Workflow titles** allow users to easily express the purpose of a workflow.
  - E.g., “Java Update Patching Exception”
- New **easy-to-use filters** are available for various workflows properties from both the workflows and findings pages.
  - E.g., “Workflow Type”, “Workflow Expiration Date”, etc.
- Creating a workflow from the findings page has a **redesigned menu with far less options** that is easier to use.
