Auto-name a process in Tallyfy
Manually naming each process can lead to inconsistencies. Different people might use different naming styles, making it hard to find and track specific processes later. For example, one person might name a client onboarding process “Coca Cola onboarding”, while another names a similar one “Pepsi project”.
Auto-naming solves this by creating a consistent naming pattern for every process launched from a specific template. This ensures all processes follow the same structure, making them easily identifiable and comparable. Using the example above, auto-naming could ensure both processes are named consistently, like “Onboarding - Coca Cola - Memphis” and “Onboarding - Pepsi - New York”. This precise naming helps you quickly understand what each process is about and keeps your process tracking organized.
Here’s a comparison showing how auto-naming improves clarity of process names:
Bad Naming (Inconsistent/Manual) | Good Naming (Consistent/Auto-Named) |
---|---|
Onboarding Client | Onboarding - Coca Cola - Memphis |
Acme Corp | Onboarding - Pepsi - New York |
New Hire | New Hire - Jane Smith - Marketing |
John Doe Start | New Hire - Bob Johnson - Engineering |
Ticket #123 | Support - TKT-456 - Beta Inc - Login |
Urgent Fix | Support - TKT-457 - Gamma LLC - Billing |
To ensure consistent and informative names for the processes launched from a specific template, you can set up an automatic naming pattern.
- Open the template in Edit mode.
- Click the Settings (or Config) button in the top toolbar.
- Go to the Summary tab.
- Find the Auto-name Process? option and switch it to Yes.
- A box will appear where you can define the naming pattern.
- You can type standard text (like “Onboarding for:”) and insert variables using the button. These variables will pull data from your required kick-off form fields.
- Save your settings.
Now, when someone launches a process from this template, Tallyfy will automatically generate the process name based on your pattern and the data entered into the required kick-off fields.
