Managing Active Processes

Working with Active Processes

Running processes sometimes need adjustments. Tallyfy gives you flexibility to manage processes without losing control.

Editing Active Processes

You can modify a running process:

  • Add steps - Insert new tasks when needed
  • Remove steps - Delete steps not yet started
  • Reorder steps - Change the sequence
  • Change assignments - Reassign to different people
  • Adjust deadlines - Extend or shorten timeframes

Reassigning Steps

To change who is responsible for a step:

  1. Open the process and click on the step
  2. Click the current assignee
  3. Select a new person or group
  4. Optionally add a note explaining the change

Adding Comments

Communicate within the context of the process:

  • Add comments to specific steps
  • @mention team members to notify them
  • Attach files to comments
  • Comments are part of the permanent record

Handling Exceptions

When things do not go as planned:

  • Skip steps - Mark as not applicable for this process
  • Pause process - Temporarily stop all deadlines
  • Cancel process - Stop completely when no longer needed
  • Add notes - Document why exceptions occurred
