Entering Information into Nodes – Help Center | Teachme Process

The value of a process diagram depends on what you put into its nodes. Do not stop at simply creating the shape of the diagram.

What you can set on an Execution Node

Node Name…What is done in that step
Description…Supplementary notes
Duration…How long it takes
Task Type…One of: Decision, Routine, or Automated. Used when considering improvements
Badge…Indicates Approval, Forbidden, and so on
Assignment labels…Whose task it is
Detailed process…A reference to another process diagram when breaking out a subprocess
Manual/Link…A Teachme Biz Manual or Outside Link

Setting assignment labels enables Swimlanes

When you set Assignment labels, the Swimlane view lets you reorganize the diagram around "whose task it is." Nodes are also color-coded by assignment label, making it useful when discussing the division of roles between departments.

Set the Task Type in advance

The Task Type (Decision, Routine, or Automated) is used in aggregating improvement Reports. For nodes where it has not been set, the AI will estimate it from the content, but setting it in advance produces more accurate aggregations.

Enter Duration for every Execution Node

If you enter a Duration for every Execution Node, the "longest and shortest paths" in the flow view lets you compare time-consuming routes against shorter ones.
This can serve as material for improvement discussions.

Switch views when making edits

The node list view is well suited for the work of filling in information. Because Duration and whether a Manual is attached are visible at a glance, it becomes easier to spot nodes with missing data.

Switch views depending on what you want to fix: use the flow view to adjust the flow itself, and use the Swimlane view to revisit how assignments are divided.
