Detailed Description
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
Example one
The embodiment of the application provides a workflow list configuration method, which is applied to a workflow management system. The workflow architecture and the forms in the existing workflow management system are preset, so that the business expansion of enterprises cannot be supported. In the scheme, for the service requirement of the workflow, service attributes (the service attributes can be understood as label data in the form) are determined, then the form is configured in a user-defined mode, a plurality of required form objects are obtained, and then working nodes are configured according to the form objects. That is, the technical solution of the present embodiment is executed inside the workflow management system. Workflow task managers in the work project can perform the coupling of the workflow and the forms only according to given configuration, and the workflow and the forms are independent from each other, so that the workflow and the forms have the characteristics of low coupling and high cohesion. And because the technical scheme has the advantages of low coupling and high cohesion, the technical scheme can be expanded to other flow business or engineering requirements, so that the reusability of the technical scheme is improved, the development cost is reduced, the construction difficulty of related business or engineering is reduced, and the period is shortened.
Referring to fig. 1-2, the workflow form configuration method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps.
And S100, receiving the newly constructed work object, determining the required service attribute, customizing the configuration form and acquiring a plurality of form objects.
The work object can represent that the work object has a plurality of project information and needs a plurality of business operations, and the corresponding operations are sequentially executed for the same purpose. The scheme is also suitable for some civil engineering projects, and aims to visually represent the process by data, so that on one hand, correct connection of front and back operations can be ensured, and on the other hand, corresponding monitoring is convenient for a supervisor.
In this step, when a newly constructed work object is received, the service attribute related to the work object is determined according to the existing related tag data in the work object, so as to perform the configuration of the user-defined form.
The custom configuration form in this step includes a configuration form according to the required service attributes, and also includes specific contents in the configuration form.
Further, in step S100, the method for customizing the configuration form includes: judging whether a form object adapted to the service attribute exists in a form library or not; if yes, the form objects prestored in the form library are directly called, otherwise, a plurality of form objects adapted to the service attributes are configured in a self-defined mode.
In the self-defining configuration of a plurality of form objects which are adapted to the service attributes, a visual interface is used for guiding and dragging the self-defining form element components to generate the form objects based on page visualization, so that the configured form objects are visually displayed after the form objects are coupled and associated to the corresponding working nodes.
When the user-defined form element component is dragged under the guidance of the visual interface, the method further comprises the step of setting input attributes for the form elements so as to match the acquired business data.
And S200, configuring a plurality of working nodes in the workflow according to the self-defined guidance of each form object, and coupling and associating the working nodes and the form objects with each other.
Therefore, it can be seen that in this embodiment, no pre-configuration is required regardless of a self-defined form or a self-defined workflow, when the self-defined configuration form is executed, an element component of a self-defined form object is dragged on a visual interface to generate a page-type form object, and then a configuration work node is guided according to the form object, that is, in this way, the form object is coupled and associated to a work node of the workflow, and after the form object is coupled to the work node of the workflow, the page-type form object can be viewed through a corresponding flow node. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, workflow nodes and forms in the existing system are configured in a front-end self-defined manner, that is, a combination of a front-end self-defined component technology and a workflow technology, and after visual workflow process self-definition and visual form configuration are integrated into one project in this embodiment, page-type workflow self-definition and form self-definition can be achieved, so that the cost of development processes or forms is reduced, that is, the purposes of one-time development and lifelong use are achieved.
In order to facilitate the operator to configure the workflow nodes in a customized manner, in step S200, a configurable workflow architecture is preset, and then the workflow nodes are configured in a customized manner according to the form object.
Further, in this embodiment, one or more work nodes are coupled and associated with the same form object. A worker node is coupled to associate one or more form objects. Referring to fig. 3, that is, in this step, the same form object may be processed at different work nodes according to the process definition, or different forms may be executed according to the relationship between the forms, and the workflow engine completes the task flow to complete the form processing of a set of process definitions.
Step S300, the role configuration is carried out on each working node, the operation object and the form access object of each working node are determined, and the form access object comprises the operation object of the next working node.
And S400, generating a work list according to the work node and the role configuration, sequentially executing the service application programs in all the work nodes according to the work list, acquiring service data, automatically updating the service data into a form object, and generating a service document.
To explain further, in configuring a form object, element input rules are defined for the form object, i.e., as noted above, the definition of input values or selection values is handled for the form element.
Step S500, the business document is transmitted to the next working node through the workflow engine according to the work list, so that after the operation object of the next working node accesses the recheck business document, the business application program of the corresponding working node is determined to be executed, or the previous working node is returned to, and the business application program of the corresponding working node is re-executed.
In summary, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention includes defining a workflow before the workflow is run, determining whether a form needs to be configured according to the property of a work object, determining whether a suitable form object is selected after the form is configured, and determining whether the form enters a form configuration page, wherein a set of rich form elements in the form configuration page can be used for configuring the form and can be configured into various forms with various universality and special requirements, so as to meet the requirements of different scenes; further, when the process definition (namely the work node) is created, the work node can be selected to add the corresponding form, so that the relevance is enhanced, and the configuration of the process definition for the role is not influenced.
The workflow management system in this embodiment is a software system, and performs the circulation of work tasks according to a flow defined in the system in advance, and a business document formed by updating data of each work node into a form object flows along with the circulation of the data, and completes the coupling with a configuration form based on a workflow system product architecture, and different configurable forms can be adopted for different business flow definitions, and are associated with the form object in the task node of the flow definition, so that the high expansibility of the configurable form based on the workflow system can be realized, different forms can be configured according to different business flows or approval flows, and the process of configuring the forms in advance is omitted.
Further, in this embodiment, a corresponding form is established according to an actual service or a process, and is bound to a workflow, and an intermediate work object is used as a link, so that the processes of the workflow correspond to the forms one to one, and a one-to-many mapping relationship is formed. And selecting a configurable form, and binding the form with the process definition attribute, wherein each task node can display the processing opinions and results of the previous nodes, even if the processing opinions and results are limited by few forms, a new form to be used can be created immediately according to the regulations, the element attribute cannot be changed in the circulation process of the form elements, the element value can be changed according to the examination and approval of examination and approval node personnel, and the flow is effectively carried out to the next node in real time. Due to the low coupling of the system, the system can be used as a third-party workflow plug-in to provide external services, and the invasiveness is reduced.
