And is not particularly limited herein.
It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers, as desired for implementation.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for processing a flow is shown in accordance with the present disclosure. The method for processing the flow comprises the following steps:
In this embodiment, the flow creation request may be used to request the creation of a flow. The process flow can be various process flows for realizing different tasks or purposes according to different application scenes or application requirements. For example, the process may be various workflows (e.g., leave processes, project handoff processes, etc.).
The process template may be used to predefine or specify the relevant content of the process. According to different application requirements, various different process templates can be established in advance so as to complete different process creation quickly. For example, a flow template corresponding to the leave request flow may be previously established, and a flow template corresponding to the project handover flow may be previously established.
Generally, a flow template may specify flow nodes, flow paths, and forms of a corresponding flow in advance. A process node may refer to each state that may occur in the entire process of the process. Taking the leave asking process as an example, the process nodes of a simple leave asking process may include a start node, an approval node, and an end node.
The flow path may refer to a path formed by a flow between flow nodes. Taking the above leave asking process as an example, the flow path may include a path from the start node to the approval node, and a path from the approval node to the end node.
The form may be a form of various styles. The attributes in the form can be flexibly set according to the actual application scene. Still taking the leave flow as an example, the attributes of the form may include, but are not limited to: user name, time to leave, reason to leave, etc.
The data tables may be data tables of various structures in a database. The database may be a database communicatively coupled to the execution agent (e.g., server 105 shown in fig. 1). The preset data table may be used to store various pre-established process templates. At this time, when a new flow template is created, the related data of the newly created flow template may be stored in the preset flow table.
Specifically, a data table with a data structure that can be commonly used can be pre-designed by a technician according to requirements, and thus, even if the flow templates corresponding to different data structures correspond, the data table can be uniformly stored, so that subsequent use, management and maintenance are facilitated.
The execution agent may receive a flow creation request sent by a user through a device (e.g., terminal devices 101, 102, 103, etc. shown in fig. 1) used by the user, and then obtain data related to a flow template corresponding to the flow creation request from a data table for storing flow templates in a database in communication connection with the execution agent. When initiating a flow creation request, a user may first select a desired flow template from the flow templates, and then initiate the flow creation request according to the selected flow template.
In this embodiment, the execution body may control to display a form corresponding to the flow template to the user, and then collect data filled in the form by the user. Generally, various fields or attributes preset may be included in the form to allow the user to fill in corresponding field values or attribute values.
For example, the execution subject may control to present a form on a terminal device used by the user, and the form includes three attributes of a user name, a leave request time, and a leave request reason. Then, the user may fill in the corresponding attribute values in the form by using the terminal device, and then the execution subject may obtain the attribute values corresponding to the user name, the leave request time, and the leave request reason filled in by the user.
And step 203, creating a flow according to the flow nodes, the circulation paths and the acquired data included in the flow template.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may create a new flow according to the flow nodes, the circulation path, and the data collected by using the form included in the flow template.
In this embodiment, the execution agent may control the start of execution of the newly created flow. Specifically, according to the flow path of the flow, the flow is performed from the starting flow node until the flow is terminated when the flow is transferred to the terminated flow node.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the flow template may further include attribute information of each flow node. The attribute information may include various attribute information of the process node.
Alternatively, the attribute information may include authority information. The authority information can be used for indicating the execution authority of the flow node for the data in the form. The data in the form may refer to data collected using the form. The execution authority can be flexibly set according to different application scenes. For example, execution rights include, but are not limited to: read-write rights, editing rights, etc.
At this time, in the process of executing the flow, authority information of the flow node starting to be started may be acquired, and in response to detecting a preset operation for data in the form, an execution result is generated according to the authority information.
The preset operation may refer to various operations for the form, and may be specifically set according to actual application requirements. For example, the preset operations include, but are not limited to: read operations, modify operations, and the like.
Specifically, if the authority information indicates that the data in the form has an execution authority for executing the preset operation, the preset operation on the data in the form is accepted and executed, so that an execution result is obtained. If the permission information indicates that the data in the form does not have the execution permission for executing the preset operation, the preset operation on the data in the form can be refused to be executed, and prompt information is generated to prompt that the preset operation cannot be executed on the data in the form currently.
As an example, if the authority information indicates that the flow node has an editing authority for the data in the form, the data in the form may be edited in the processing process of the flow node. If the process node indicated by the authority information does not have the editing authority for the data in the form, the data in the form can be refused to be edited in the processing process of the process node. At this time, if an editing request for the data in the form is received in the processing process of the flow node, a prompt message may be displayed to prompt that the data in the form cannot be edited currently.
Therefore, the execution authority of the processing personnel of each process node on the form data can be flexibly controlled, and the data safety and correctness in the process of flow circulation are ensured.
In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the form may include a handler field. Wherein the handler field may be used to indicate a handler (e.g., approver, etc.) of the process node. At this point, the processing chevron values that the user fills in for the processing chevron may be collected. Then, in the process of creating the flow, the handler corresponding to each flow node may be set according to the processing field value corresponding to the flow node, so that the corresponding handler may complete the processing of the flow node in the subsequent control.
Therefore, the user can flexibly designate the handler of the process node according to the actual requirement, so that the handler designated by the user in the form is read and handed to the handler to process the corresponding process node in the process execution process, and the flexibility of the process processing process is improved.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the flow template may further include an associated event for each field in the form. Wherein the correlation event can be used to assist the form in collecting data. The associated events may be preset by a technician according to application requirements. At this point, when the form is exposed, the associated events of the fields in the form may be invoked to collect data.
For example, the association event may include a verification event for verifying the attribute values filled in by the user for the fields in the form. At this time, after the user fills in the attribute value, a verification event written in advance by a technician may be called to verify whether the attribute value filled in by the user meets requirements (such as whether the format is correct or not), so as to avoid situations that the flow cannot be normally circulated due to a filling error of form data.
For another example, the associated event may include a reminder event for prompting a manner of filling in attribute values of fields in the form. At this time, when the user fills in the attribute values, the filling requirement of the reminding event reminding attribute values or the selectable attribute value set of the attribute values, which are written in advance by the technical staff, can be called to assist the user in correctly filling in the form.
Therefore, the method can flexibly set the associated event in each field in the form in the flow template according to the actual application scene or application requirement so as to assist the user to correctly and quickly fill in the form, thereby accelerating the process of flow creation and execution.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, a flow processing instruction sent by the target system may also be received, and then the flow processing instruction is executed.
The target system may be a system for performing various tasks or purposes according to different application scenarios. For example, the target system may be a settlement system, a security service system, an item management system, and so forth.
The flow processing instructions may be used to instruct the flow to perform various processes including, but not limited to: creating a new flow, pausing execution of the flow, resuming execution of the flow, ending execution of the flow, creating and executing an associated flow, and so forth.
Specifically, a technician may write a docking interface between the target system and the process in advance, and at this time, the transmission and execution of the process instruction may be implemented by using the pre-written docking interface.
As an example, the security service system may send a pause instruction to pause execution of the associated flow upon detecting that a security issue exists. After the security issue is resolved, a resume instruction may be sent to resume execution of the associated flow.
As yet another example, a user of the project management system may directly invoke the interface to send a flow processing instruction for instructing the creation of a new project, and may in turn create and execute a new flow in accordance with the flow processing instruction.
Therefore, the association and the cooperation of the target system and the process processing process are facilitated, the user is further facilitated to process the relevant matters of the process, and the process processing efficiency is improved.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, when building the flow template, the user may build the flow template through a drag-and-drop development manner. For example, the user may set the flow nodes and the flow paths between the flow nodes by dragging. Further, the user can set attribute information of each flow node and creation conditions of each flow path, and the like.
In the prior art, when each flow template is created, a new data table needs to be established in a database to store relevant data of the flow template, and different flow templates may correspond to different data table structures, which results in complex data table types and is difficult to manage and maintain uniformly.
In the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, various process templates are stored by using the data table in a manner of designing the data table with a general data structure and the like, and a process that a corresponding data table needs to be newly built for each process template is avoided, so that the number of the data tables needing to be managed and maintained is greatly reduced, and the management and maintenance difficulty of the data tables is also reduced.
With further reference to FIG. 3, a flow 300 of yet another embodiment of a method for processing a flow is illustrated. The process 300 of the method for processing a process flow includes the steps of:
step 301, in response to receiving a flow creation request based on a flow template, obtaining the flow template from a preset data table.
In this embodiment, the flow template may further include a creation condition of the circulation path. Specifically, the creation conditions corresponding to each of the flow paths between the flow nodes may be included. Different circulation paths formed between different flow nodes can have the same creation condition or different creation conditions.
The creating condition of the circulation path may be used to indicate a condition that needs to be satisfied when the circulation path is created. For example, the creation condition may include level information indicating a job level to which the user belongs. At this time, a circulation path corresponding to the job level may be selected from the flow template as an effective circulation path according to the job level of the user who initiated the flow creation request.
And 304, creating a flow according to the effective circulation path, the flow nodes corresponding to the effective circulation path and the acquired data.
In this embodiment, the flow node corresponding to the flow path may refer to a flow node included in the flow path. And according to the creation condition of the circulation path, flexibly selecting an effective circulation path to create a flow capable of being effectively executed.
In step 305, the process is executed.
In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the creation condition of the circulation path may include age information of the circulation path. The time efficiency information may be used to indicate the effective time and the ineffective time of the circulation path.
At this time, the current time may be obtained first, then the effective circulation path at the current time is selected as the effective circulation path, and then the flow is created and executed according to the effective circulation path.
As an example, the flow template includes a first flow path and the first flow path has valid times monday through friday and invalid times saturday and sunday. At this time, if the user requests to create the flow on monday through friday, the first flow path is an effective flow path, and the created flow may include the first flow path. Correspondingly, if the user requests to create the flow on saturday or sunday, the first flow path is an invalid flow path, and the created flow may not include the first flow path.
The content that is not described in detail in this embodiment may refer to the related description in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
According to the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the creation condition is set for each flow path in the flow template in advance, so that when a flow creation request based on the flow template is received, the current effective flow path can be selected in real time according to the creation condition to create and execute the flow, processes of manually eliminating invalid flow paths and the like after the flow is created are avoided, and the effectiveness and the execution efficiency of the flow creation are improved.
With further reference to FIG. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for processing a flow is illustrated. The process 400 of the method for processing a process flow includes the steps of:
step 401, in response to receiving a flow creation request based on a flow template, obtaining the flow template from a preset data table.
And step 403, creating a flow according to the flow nodes, the circulation paths and the data included in the flow template.
In this embodiment, the flow template may further include association information of each flow node. Wherein the association information may be used to indicate whether the process node has an associated process. Specifically, the association information of each process node may be set according to the actual application requirement, and the process associated with the process node may be set.
For example, in the process of item pickup, an associated process for indicating replenishment of a new item may be set at a process node of the item pickup.
When each process node starts to be started, whether the process node has an associated process can be determined according to the associated information of the process node. If the flow node does not have the associated flow, the flow path related to the flow node can be normally executed. If the process node has an associated process, information for displaying the associated process corresponding to the process node can be acquired.
The information for presentation may be various information of the associated flow. For example, the information for presentation may be identification information, profile information, or the like of the associated flow.
Specifically, information for showing an associated flow corresponding to the flow node may be stored in advance in a database connected to the execution agent. In this case, the execution agent may acquire information for displaying an associated flow corresponding to the current flow node from the database.
In this embodiment, the user may determine whether to execute each associated flow corresponding to the current flow node according to the information for presentation. Specifically, the user may send the execution instruction for the associated flow by clicking display information of the associated flow, and at this time, the execution subject may create and execute the associated flow.
It should be noted that, the preset data table may further store a flow template corresponding to each associated flow. At this time, the execution subject may obtain a flow template corresponding to the associated flow indicated by the execution instruction from the data table, and then create and execute the corresponding associated flow according to the obtained flow template.
Optionally, when the associated process corresponding to the current process node is created and executed, the execution of the circulation path related to the current process node may be suspended until the execution of the associated process is finished, and then the execution of the circulation path related to the current process node is resumed.
Optionally, for a flow node, the execution result of the associated flow of the flow node may assist the execution of the relevant flow path of the flow node.
Therefore, for a relatively complex flow, when a corresponding flow template is created, the flow can be split into flow nodes, corresponding flow paths and associated flows of the flow nodes, so that the overall flow logic is simpler and easier to expand.
The content that is not described in detail in this embodiment may refer to the related description in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
According to the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the associated processes are set for the process nodes in the process template in advance, so that a user can select to create and execute different associated processes according to different application requirements or application scenes in the process of process circulation, different requirements of different users for the same process can be met, and efficient execution of complex processes is facilitated.
With further reference to FIG. 5, a flow 500 of yet another embodiment of a method for processing a flow is illustrated. The process 500 of the method for processing a process flow includes the steps of:
step 501, in response to receiving a flow creation request based on a flow template, obtaining the flow template from a preset data table.
And step 504, executing the flow, and creating and executing the tagging flow in response to the fact that the starting flow node is determined to be provided with the tagging and in response to the fact that the tagging instruction aiming at the starting flow node is received.
In this embodiment, the process template may further include tagging information of each process node. The tagging information may be used to indicate whether the process node sets tagging. Tagging may refer to the temporary addition of a new approver or verifier. Specifically, whether each process node needs to be signed or not can be set according to actual application requirements.
Specifically, when each process node starts to be started, whether the process node is provided with a label or not may be determined according to the label information of the process node. If the flow node is not signed, the flow path related to the flow node can be executed normally. If the process node is provided with the tag, the information for displaying which is corresponding to the process node and used for indicating the tag can be obtained.

In this case, the information for presentation for instructing the application of the label may be stored in advance in a database connected to the execution main body. The execution body may obtain and display information for indicating tagging corresponding to the current process node from the database. The display information corresponding to different process nodes and used for indicating the tagging may be the same or different.
And then, the user can determine whether to add the label according to the current actual demand. If the signature is required, the signature instruction for the current process node can be sent by clicking display information for indicating signature, and the like, and at this time, the execution main body can create and execute the corresponding signature process.
Optionally, the user may set a handler (e.g., an approver or a verifier) corresponding to the signing process when sending the signing instruction. For example, the user may select a person from a preset list of persons as the handler of the tagging process.
It should be noted that, the preset data table may further store a flow template of the tagging flow corresponding to each flow node. At this time, the execution main body may obtain the flow template corresponding to the tagging instruction from the data table, and then create and execute the corresponding tagging flow according to the obtained flow template.
