Frequently Asked Questions
What types of workflows can be created?
Nora IPLM supports item creation and release, BOM review and approval, document sign-off, engineering changes, and custom approval flows.
Are workflows configurable without coding?
Yes. Configurable, rule-based workflows can be set up without custom development and adapted as processes evolve.
Can workflows be linked to items, BOMs, and documents?
Yes. Workflows connect directly to items, BOMs, documents, and change records so execution remains tied to the correct product data.
How does Nora IPLM handle approvals and notifications?
Clear task status, ownership, due dates, alerts, and approval steps help teams track progress, identify bottlenecks, and maintain accountability.
Can existing workflow or task data be migrated?
Yes. Teams can import existing task and process data from spreadsheets or external tools into Nora IPLM.
