Is it possible to visually follow a process instance ? And if yes, how ?

Cheers, Rob.

No, thats a feature we currently don't yet have. But we'll soon investigate how we could offer this.

Ok, thanks, that would be a very important feature.

Cheers, Rob.

P.S. Do you have any idea when this feature might be available ?

Hi, I silltently followed the dev of Activiti the last couple of month but so far I cannot see this kind of feature I asked within this topic already.

Is there anything coming up ?

If not, I do not get the whole point, since I am doing a lot of processing within my company (e.g. MES - Manufacturing Execution System) and all engeneers want to graphically follow where the process is at right know (and not just the very moment, but the "whole" process with the actuall step(s) being high-lighted or similar. As in the modeler for example, but with runtime data).

How do others use this system ???

Cheers, Rob.

We are currently internally discussing how to do this. The reason why you don't see things moving in the codebase, is becaue that code resides in the Signavio Core components repository.

However, we have some ideas to get it working, but we haven't got anything in code yet. So it might take some time yet.
The best way yo bring it higher on our roadmap is to vote on a Jira issue describing it 🙂

Ok, so I did under

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-426

Cheers, Rob.
