Hi Community,
1- Is there any set of practices to optimize Bussiness Processes ?
Ex- I already know that for 'Read Elements' we should only choose to read the fields we use through the process., and NOT all the fields of the Object.
2- Is it a good practice that for processes that are used often and that consume a lot of time, to replace the low code elements 'Add Data' od 'Modify Data' with user tasks ( C#) ?
Thank you

Hello,
There are indeed several practices that can help optimize business processes:
- Minimize unnecessary actions: Similar to your example of reading only the required fields, it's a good practice to minimize unnecessary actions within a process. This includes reducing unnecessary data queries, calculations, or validations that may not contribute to the outcome.
- Use conditional branching wisely: Avoid excessive or complex branching conditions within a process, as it can make the process harder to understand and maintain. Simplify the logic by using conditions that are essential to the process flow.
- Optimize data retrieval: When retrieving data from external systems or databases, consider using filters and conditions to retrieve only the necessary data. This can improve the performance of the process and reduce unnecessary data processing.
- Monitor and measure process performance: Regularly monitor and measure the performance of your business processes. Use the built-in analytics tools to identify bottlenecks, areas for improvement, and opportunities for optimization.
2. It would be nice to create processes with no-code, but Creatio coverts them to C# code
Hi Vladimir, thank you for your answer :)
So using a 'user task' insted of low a low code element doesnt actually improve the performance ?
What is you suggestion in improving the performance of a business process ?
Hi Creatio community,
Any up-date regarding the topic ?

It is generally recommended to use low-code elements like "Add Data" or "Modify Data" within processes whenever possible. These elements are designed to work efficiently with the platform's data structures and provide a simplified way to interact with the database.
Replacing low-code elements with custom user tasks using C# should be considered when there are specific requirements or complex business logic that cannot be achieved using the standard functionality. However, using custom user tasks introduces additional complexity, development effort, and maintenance overhead. It's important to carefully evaluate the trade-offs and assess whether the benefits of using custom code outweigh the potential drawbacks.
