– Multitenant \/ stateless
– Scalable
– Reliable
– WF (Windows Workflow Foundation)
– Extensibility Mechanism
– Concept of Personal Workflow<\/P>\n
– Not very configurable vs. Web Based
– V3 didn\u2019t support UPDATE. No we can Update even at Attribute level.
– V3 supports less entities. Titan supports many entities, event Custom Entities.
– Flow control \u2013 ELSE in Titan
– Flow control \u2013 Parallel Wait in Titan
– Create Records. In V3 quite painful. In Titan we have a standard form to make it easy.
– Relationships. Much more events.
– Dynamic Expressions. We have now in Titan a Dynamic Expressions Assistant.
– Process Definition. Can define different stages within a Workflow.
What\u2019s new
– Personal Workflows (ie End users can create workflows)
– Richer
– Visible
o Contextual visibility. Drill down from entities to the actual workflow.
o Workflow data available for reporting\/advanced find\/export to excel<\/P>\n
– Custom WF activities should be registered with CRM using the Web Service APIs
– Custom WF activities cannot be registered in CRM Live!!<\/P>\n
