New Features and Enhancements
ProcessMaker's Spring 2025 Release introduces several new features and enhancements aimed at empowering organizations for an AI-driven future and accelerating business process automation.
RAG Collections
Enhance knowledge retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Collections, enabling designers to create and configure collections from external data sources. RAG collections help designers efficiently manage and organize data from files and URLs using AI-powered semantic analysis for more relevant retrieval. They serve as a structured data source in FlowGenie Studio, enhancing Genies' ability to access and use information.
External Data Sources: Upload files or URLs, with automatic data extraction and storage.
FlowGenie Integration: Genies use RAG collections for better data retrieval, with configurable match thresholds and limits.
Enhanced Insights: AI-driven analysis improves question-answering capabilities with precise, context-aware responses.
External System Support: API and data connectors enable seamless data exchange.
VarFinder
Design faster and easier, with your most recent variables conveniently accessible in the VarFinder. VarFinder simplifies variable management in ProcessMaker, ensuring seamless access to process variables across the platform. With task context, cross-process search, and an intuitive UI, it helps designers quickly locate assets and their variables.
Quick Access Panel: Open VarFinder using shift + space as a draggable popover window for convenience.
Efficient Filtering: Search for variables within assets or filter results by asset type.
Expandable Variable Lists: Expand/collapse variable lists for easy navigation.
One-Click Copy: Select a variable to automatically copy it and paste where needed.
Decision Tables Hit Policies (Single and Multiple)
Configure policies to allow multiple simultaneous outcomes based on business needs, without hardcoding logic in scripts. Use Single-Hit and Multi-Hit Policies to control how matching rules are handled.
Single-Hit Policy: Returns a single result based on predefined rule-matching criteria.
Multi-Hit Policy: Returns multiple results by aggregating or listing all matching rule outputs.
Preview Mode: Test rules before using them in processes.
Configurable Hit Policies: Select the best-suited policy when building processes in the Modeler.
Enhance business process decisions with flexible policies, giving designers full control over how multiple matching rules are processed.
Process Intelligence Chrome Extension
Simplify task mining for web applications with the ProcessMaker Process Intelligence (PI) Chrome Extension. This lightweight, browser-based tool allows for seamless data collection and analysis without the need for complex installations. It offers a quick setup process and ensures cross-platform compatibility, supporting both Windows and Mac operating systems.
Quick and Easy Setup: Available in the Chrome Web Store, allowing rapid installation and configuration.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Extends functionality beyond Windows, enabling Mac users to participate in task mining activities.
Browser-Based Features: Lays the groundwork for new features that integrate directly within your web browser environment.
With the PI Chrome Extension, users can efficiently capture and analyze processes directly from their browser, enhancing process insights and optimization.
Home Page
Improved task management and navigation with the new Participant Home Screen, offering a centralized, personalized workspace for participants. This streamlined interface, combined with a dynamic Task Table and Launchpad, reduces navigation time and boosts productivity, leading to a smoother, more satisfying participant journey.
