Written by Stefanie Ellmer | July 11, 2023

Streamlining Workflow Efficiency and Minimizing Admin Intervention

Error messages within Teamcenter workflows can often be perceived as annoying and easily dismissed. Users frequently find them hard to comprehend, making problem resolution a challenging task. This often leads to picking up the phone and seeking assistance from administrators. Particularly in the context of Teamcenter workflows, a variety of error messages can disrupt the workflow progression.

BCT CheckIt offers a solution to this problem, enabling the early detection of errors and presenting users with a clear understanding of where the issue lies. By catching errors at the outset, before the workflow even begins, processes can be significantly simplified, multiple iterations can be avoided, and complexity can be reduced.

 

Key Benefits:

  1. Clear and Understandable Error Messages:
    • BCT CheckIt provides simple error messages that not only identify the source of the error but also guide users on how to correct it. This clarity empowers users to troubleshoot issues on their own, reducing the need for frequent interventions by Teamcenter administrators.

  2. Interactive Check Result Reports:
    • BCT CheckIt generates interactive reports that offer a comprehensive view of both failed and successful checks. These reports use intuitive visual cues like traffic light colors and filtering options to focus on errors. Additionally, failed components can be accessed directly via hyperlinks, making corrections straightforward and efficient.

  3. Dynamic Error Message Composition:
    • The error messages in BCT CheckIt can be dynamically composed, allowing for the inclusion of fixed text and attributes from the checked items. This flexibility ensures that error messages are contextually relevant and tailored to the specific issue at hand.
