 ===== Enhanced Process Execution Support =====
-Processes need to be applied in practice. To make this task less challenging, Stages 7.11 adds support for executing Stages processes in [[711:process_execution_jiracloud|Jira Cloud]] and [[711:process_execution_rtc|IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.0.3]].

-Items in those systems can be automatically generated from Stages process activities or work products. Users can start process workflows directly from Stages. Alternatively, Stages processes can automatically be initiated by events in Jira and IBM ELM. From each generated item, knowledge workers can follow links back to the process description in Stages to better understand not only what is expected from them, but why, and how each step should be completed. Additional information like work product templates or practice descriptions are available with a single click.

 ===== Reporting Redesign =====
-  * New UI: reuse existing report results, etc.
+  * The user interface for running reports has changed. It now steps you through selecting parameter values and output formats before displaying the Run button.
-  * Execution in background
+  * The UI also displays a history of of your personal report runs, listing up to 10 runs per report and process version. From the list, you can view the results again, repeat the report, and export to other formats.
-  * Support for DOCX and PPTX removed
+  * DOC and PPTX output formats are no longer available.

+  * Stages now manages the number of reports running in parallel. When necessary, the server schedules new report requests to start when there is space in the queue. Superusers can monitor and adjust the queue.

-Stages also saves the execution results from your personal report runs, displaying your history of up to 10 runs per report and process version. From the list, you can view the results again, repeat the run with the same parameters to refresh results, and export to PDF or XLSX format. DOC and PPTX formats are no longer available.
-//[screen cap of execution results]//
-If the report script is updated, saved results are deleted as they no longer match the report.
-To ensure server performance, Stages now manages the number of reports running in parallel.  When necessary, the server queues new report requests to start when already-running reports complete, executing them in the background. If your report is queued, you'll see its status in your saved list; once the server has run the report, you'll see the results in the saved list.  Administrators can monitor and adjust the queue, as well as view history of report runs and execution times.
