The business process of the leave-asking business is taken as an example for explanation. Suppose that the business process of the leave-asking business comprises 4 tasks: task 1. ask dummy a to submit a leave requisition. Task 2. approver B processes the leave request. Task 3. approver C processes the leave requisition. Task 4. approver D processes the leave requisition. In the business process, when any one of three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D agrees to please apply for the dummy A, the dummy A is asked to succeed.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a workflow for describing the business process. The workflow includes 4 nodes: node 101, node 102, node 103, and node 104. Node 101 corresponds to task 1, node 102 corresponds to task 2, node 103 corresponds to task 3, and node 104 corresponds to task 4. As shown in the figure, the logic relationships among 4 tasks in the business process described by the workflow are 3 types:

After the terminal device is connected to the server related to the business process in the network, the server related to the business process can provide the form data of each task for the terminal device, so that the server can complete each task in the business process.
In processing the workflow, the electronic device 201 runs a workflow engine corresponding to the workflow. In some possible embodiments, the terminal device 202 submits the leave request to the electronic device 201 in response to the user operation of the user a, and the electronic device 201 may push the leave request to the terminal device 204 that the user B logs in through the user account, and the user B processes the leave request. The terminal device 204 receives the user operation of the user B to obtain the processing result of the user B, and sends the processing result to the electronic device 201.
In order to automatically process tasks in a business process described by a workflow, the embodiment of the application provides a method for processing the workflow. In the method, the electronic device determines a second task to be executed after the first task is executed according to a branch rule corresponding to the first node, and judges whether the second task can be executed according to a combination rule of the second node. In the case where it is determined to execute the second task according to the merge rule, the electronic device executes the second task. The branching rules and the merging rules herein collectively indicate a variety of logical relationships for the electronic device to perform the second task. The branch rule and the merge rule corresponding to the node may refer to the related description of the subsequent method embodiment, which is not described herein again.
By the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment executes tasks of various logic relations according to the branch rules and the combination rules of the nodes, and flexibly processes the workflow, so that the complex business process described by the workflow is flexibly adapted, and the user requirements are adapted.
The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.
Please refer to fig. 3, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for processing a workflow according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method of processing a workflow may include:
step S301: the electronic equipment executes a first task corresponding to a first node, wherein the first node belongs to a plurality of nodes in the workflow.
The workflow may be used to describe a business process of an enterprise, and a workflow engine operated by the electronic device may implement the business process.
It should be clear that in the workflow description, multiple tasks can be performed simultaneously. For example, the current step is not started until a plurality of tasks of the previous step are executed, that is, there are a plurality of previous nodes associated with a certain workflow node. After the execution of the current step is finished, a plurality of tasks are executed simultaneously, namely a plurality of next-level nodes associated with a certain workflow node are provided.
Specifically, the first task is a task being processed in the business process described by the workflow. In some possible embodiments, the number of the first nodes may be one, so that the number of the first tasks corresponding to the first nodes is one. As shown in fig. 1, the first task may be task 1 corresponding to node 101.
In other possible embodiments, the number of the first nodes may be plural, and thus the number of the first tasks corresponding to the first nodes is plural. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a workflow depicting another business process. Assume that the business process of purchasing an item includes 3 tasks: task 41. user M submits an application form. Task 42. user N submits an application form. Task 43. approver K approves the purchase. The workflow includes 3 nodes: node 401, node 402, and node 403. Node 401 corresponds to task 41, node 402 corresponds to task 42, and node 403 corresponds to task 43. The first task may be task 41 corresponding to node 401 and task 42 corresponding to node 402.
In some possible embodiments, user intervention may be required while the electronic device performs the first task, and the electronic device performs human-computer interaction with the user through the terminal device. Reference may be made to the description related to fig. 2, which is not repeated here.
Step S302: when the first node is in a finished state, the electronic equipment determines a second node according to a branch rule of the first node; the second node belongs to a plurality of nodes comprised by the workflow.
For convenience of description, the processing state of the corresponding task by the node may be indicated by the state of the node. The states of the nodes include: an un-started state, an in-process state, a completed state. The node being in the un-started state indicates that the task corresponding to the node has not been performed by the electronic device. The in-process state of a node indicates that the task corresponding to the node is being performed by the electronic device. The node being in the completed state indicates that the task corresponding to the node has been performed by the electronic device.
Specifically, the branch rule of the first node is used to indicate a task that should be executed after the execution of the first task corresponding to the first node is completed. The branching rule of the first node is stored in the electronic device in advance. The electronic equipment determines a next-level node associated with the first node according to the association relation among the nodes in the workflow, and determines a second node according to the branch rule of the first node. The second node is part or all of the next-level nodes associated with the first node. In some possible embodiments, the electronic device may obtain the association relationship between the nodes in the workflow through the "v _ get _ entries" and "v _ get _ children" instructions.
The branching rules of the first node are associated with the form data of the first task. The electronic device may determine the second node from the form data of the first task. The form data of the first task includes one or more of the following: the data of the associated users of the first task corresponding to the first node and the account state of the associated users of the first task corresponding to the first node are obtained.
The following description will be made with reference to specific examples.
And the electronic equipment determines the second node according to the data of the associated user of the first task corresponding to the first node. Reference is made to the workflow shown in fig. 1, and the workflow describes 3 logical relationships among 4 tasks in the business process, and specifically, reference may be made to the description of fig. 1. Assume that the first task is task 1, i.e. ask dummy a to submit a leave requisition. And when the electronic equipment finishes the first task, the terminal equipment responds to the user operation of the dummy A to successfully submit the leave request form. The electronic device determines the second node according to the leave request sheet, namely the leave request sheet is the data of the associated user of the first task. Assume a leave-ask rule: when the applicant A applies for the disease or the false, any one of three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, needs to approve the applicant. When the applicant A applies for the application, any two of three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, need to approve the application. When the applicant A applies for the annual application, three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, need to agree with the applicant.
If the dummy a submits a leave request sheet for a sick leave, any one of the nodes 102, 103 and 104 may be determined as the second node according to the branch rule and the associated node of the first node. If the dummy a submits a leave order for a leave, any two of the nodes 102, 103 and 104 may be determined as the second nodes according to the branch rules and the associated nodes of the first node. If the dummy a submits a leave request sheet for annual leave, three nodes among the node 102, the node 103, and the node 104 may be determined as the second node according to the branch rule and the associated node of the first node.
It should be understood that the data of the associated user of the first task corresponding to the first node is only for illustrating the method of the present application and should not be construed as a limitation.
And the electronic equipment determines the second node according to the account state of the associated user of the first task corresponding to the first node. The account status includes: online and offline. Referring to the workflow shown in fig. 1, when the electronic device finishes the first task, that is, the terminal device successfully submits the leave request form in response to the user operation of the leave request person a. Assume a leave-ask rule: when the applicant A asks for a fake, the applicant requiring account status to be on-line agrees to the application. If the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is online, the account state of the approver C is offline, the account state of the approver D is offline, and the node 102 can be determined as a second node according to the branch rule and the associated node of the first node. If the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is online, the account state of the approver C is online, the account state of the approver D is offline, and the nodes 102 and 103 can be determined as second nodes according to the branch rule and the associated nodes of the first nodes. If the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is online, the account state of the approver C is online, the account state of the approver D is online, and the node 102, the node 103 and the node 104 can be determined as a second node according to the branch rule and the associated node of the first node.
It should be understood that the account status of the associated user of the first task corresponding to the first node is only for illustrating the method of the present application and should not be construed as limiting.
It is to be understood that the number of second nodes determined according to the branching rule of the first node may be one or more. And are not limited herein.
Step S303: and under the condition that the merging rule of the second node is met, the electronic equipment executes a second task corresponding to the second node.
Specifically, the merge rule of the second node is pre-stored in the electronic device, and is used to determine whether to execute the second task corresponding to the second node.
The merge rule of the second node is associated with the form data of the second task. The form data of the second task includes one or more of the following: the data of the user associated with the second task corresponding to the second node and the account state of the user associated with the second task corresponding to the second node. Reference may be made to the description relating to the embodiment of fig. 5 which follows.
Through the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment determines various logic relations of the executed task mainly according to the branch rule of the node, flexibly processes the workflow and adapts to the requirements of users. For example, in the business process of the leave-asking business, the business process can realize that the leave-asking person can succeed in asking for the leave-asking application when any one or more approvers approve the leave-asking application, and the leave-asking person can succeed in asking for the leave-asking application without the fixers agreeing with the leave-asking application. In the business process of buying goods by grouping, the business can realize that the user can buy the goods by grouping price when the number of people buying the goods is more than a first threshold value. Flexibly adapt to the user requirements and save human resources and material resources.
Please refer to fig. 5, which is a flowchart illustrating another method for processing a workflow according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the method of processing a workflow may include:
step S501: the electronic equipment executes a first task corresponding to a first node, wherein the first node belongs to a plurality of nodes in the workflow. Referring to step S301, details are not described here.
Step S502: when the first node is in the completed state, the electronic equipment determines a second node according to the branch rule of the first node, wherein the second node belongs to a plurality of nodes included in the workflow. Referring to step S302, no further description is provided here.
Step S503: and under the condition that the merging rule of the second node is met, the electronic equipment executes a second task corresponding to the second node.
The merge rule of the second node is associated with the form data of the second task. The electronic device may determine whether to execute the second node according to the form data of the second task. The form data of the second task includes one or more of the following: the data of the user associated with the second task corresponding to the second node and the account state of the user associated with the second task corresponding to the second node.
The following description will be made with reference to specific examples.
And the electronic equipment determines to execute the task corresponding to the second node according to the data of the associated user of the second task corresponding to the second node. Referring to the workflow shown in fig. 1, it is assumed that the second node includes node 102, node 103, and node 104. After the electronic device determines the second node, the merging rules of all the nodes in the second node are obtained, and the executed second task is determined according to the merging rules of all the nodes in the second node. For example, the data of the associated user of the second task corresponding to the second node is a leave list. Assume a rule of a leave application: when a dummy A is requested to apply for a disease, any one of three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, needs to approve the request for the fake application. When the applicant A applies for the application, any two of three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, need to approve the application. When the applicant A applies for the annual application, three persons, namely an approver B, an approver C and an approver D, need to agree with the applicant.
If the dummy A submits a leave list of sick and vacated leave, any one of the tasks 2, 3 and 4 can be executed according to the merging rule. If the dummy a submits a leave order for a leave, any two of tasks 2, 3, and 4 may be performed. If the dummy a submits a leave sheet for annual leave, three tasks of task 2, task 3, and task 4 are performed.
It should be understood that the data of the associated user of the second task corresponding to the second node is only for illustrating the method of the present application and should not be construed as a limitation.
And the electronic equipment determines to execute the task corresponding to the second node according to the account state of the associated user of the second task corresponding to the second node. Reference is made to the workflow shown in fig. 1, and the workflow describes 3 logical relationships among 4 tasks in the business process, and specifically, reference may be made to the description of fig. 1. The second nodes include node 102, node 103, and node 104. After the electronic device determines the second node, the merging rules of the nodes in the second node are obtained, and the executed second task is determined according to the merging rules of the second node. Assume a leave-ask rule: when the applicant A asks for a fake, the applicant requiring account status to be on-line agrees to the application. And if the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is offline, the account state of the approver C is online, the account state of the approver D is offline, and the task 3 is executed according to the merging rule. If the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is online, the account state of the approver C is online, the account state of the approver D is offline, and the tasks 2 and 3 are executed according to the merging rules. If the dummy A submits a leave request, the account state of the approver B is online, the account state of the approver C is online, the account state of the approver D is online, and the tasks 2, 3 and 4 are executed according to the merging rule.
It should be understood that the account status of the associated user of the first task corresponding to the first node is only for illustrating the method of the present application and should not be construed as limiting.
Further, in some possible embodiments, in a case that none of the merging rules of the second node is satisfied, the electronic device performs step S501, step S502, and step S503 again.
