Restart a Process after it is Closed?

Question

This may seem a little odd...

I have a number of processes that need to be restarted when the logic in the workflow results in the process ending.

Does anyone know of a way this could be set up in Process Manager? I'm sure this could be done with some simple internal coding, but we're in the On-Demand environment and we don't have or want any custom coding!

I'm currently sending a message sent that says "Restart the Process" with a link to the record. A simple "Edit/Save" without making any change will start it again.

SUCCESS! I created a simple process (start if the "Restart?" field = "yes" - Wait 10 minutes - Change the "Restart?" field to "no" - Terminate the process). In the original process, I added a step to change the "Restart?" field to "yes" before it was terminated. (I'm still sending the alert to myself for now so I may monitor the activity). I'll test the possible "loop back to the beginning" this week to see if it works. Thanks again Patrick!
