[0091] In order to facilitate the understanding and explanation of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the background technology of the present application will be described below.

[0092] When users edit a process in a visual way, they are usually required to perform operations such as selecting nodes, editing nodes, arranging node positions, and connecting nodes.

[0093] In some cases, users perform many similar editing operations when editing a process, and the editing process is cumbersome. For example, for multiple similar conditional judgment steps included in the process, users need to select and edit the conditional judgment nodes multiple times. Performing multiple similar editing operations affects the user's editing experience.

[0094] In addition, for users with less editing experience, editing the process is more difficult, and it is difficult for users to directly determine the more appropriate process editing method. During the editing process, users may have to repeatedly adjust the node position and the connection method between nodes, perform repeated invalid editing operations, and waste operating costs.

[0095] In summary, during the editing process, users may perform repeated editing operations, which makes it difficult to meet the user's needs for efficient editing of the process, resulting in a poor user experience in the editing process.

[0096] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a process editing method. The user can trigger a node template display instruction. In response to the node template display instruction, an optional node template is displayed. The optional node template is a node template that the user can select. The optional node template includes at least one edited node. The user triggers a selection instruction for a target node template from the displayed optional node template. In response to the selection instruction, a target node template is added to the first process. The target node template includes nodes that have been preliminarily edited, and effective reuse of one or more edited nodes can be achieved. The user can choose to apply the target node template in the first process from the provided optional node templates, and quickly add the target node template in the first process without the user manually creating nodes, thereby reducing the user's operating costs and improving the efficiency of the user's editing process.

[0097] In order to facilitate understanding of a process editing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a process editing method provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-Figure 3 See the example scenario shown. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the figure is a scene diagram of an exemplary application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0098] A process editing method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to an application platform as a service (aPaaS) platform. The aPaaS platform has low-code or zero-code features and can provide users with process editing functions. Users can perform "drag, drop, and drag" operations based on the process elements provided by the aPaaS platform to implement process editing.

[0099] See also Figure 1 As shown, the user can edit the first process in the process editing page of the aPaaS platform. During the process of editing the first process, the user triggers the node template display instruction. In response to obtaining the node template display instruction, the optional node template is displayed. The optional node template is a pre-published node template that can be selected by the user. The node template includes at least one configured node. As an example, see Figure 2 As shown, in response to obtaining the node template display instruction, a selection area is displayed, and the template identifiers of the selectable node templates are displayed in the selection area. The user can view each selectable node template in the selection area and trigger the selection instruction for the template identifier. Figure 3 As shown, in response to obtaining a selection instruction for a template identifier, a target node template corresponding to the template identifier is added in the first process. The dotted box is a partially displayed target node template. In this way, the user can quickly add the target node template in the first process by selecting the target node template, simplifying the editing operation and improving the editing efficiency.

[0100] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1-Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the scene shown is only an example in which the implementation of the present application can be implemented. The scope of application of the implementation of the present application is not limited by any aspect of the scene.

[0101] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the process editing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0102] See also Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , this figure is a schematic diagram of a process editing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method may include S401-S402:

[0103] S401: In response to obtaining a node template display instruction, displaying an optional node template.

[0104] The node template display instruction is used to instruct to display an optional node template. In a possible implementation, the optional node template is displayed in the process editing page. The process editing page is used to edit the first process. The user can perform editing operations on the first process in the process editing page, such as creating a process, selecting a node, and configuring a node. In response to obtaining the node template display instruction triggered by the user, the optional node template is displayed in the process editing page.

[0105] The optional node template is a node template that can be selected by the user. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the source of the optional node template. The optional node template can be a node template created by the platform or a node template created by the user.

[0106] A node template is a pre-built template that includes at least one configured node. Node templates can be reused in different processes. Node templates are used to implement partial process tasks. For example, partial process tasks are logical judgment, parallel approval, cyclic data processing, etc. Partial process tasks are part of the overall tasks to be implemented by the process. Compared with process templates, node templates implement a smaller range of tasks and are more universal and general.

[0107] The configured nodes included in the node template refer to nodes that have been configured with one or more node parameters. The configured nodes at least include configured parameters. The configured parameters include any one of fixed configuration parameters and automatic configuration parameters. Fixed configuration parameters are node parameters that have been configured. Fixed configuration parameters are not affected by the process to which the node template is applied. Fixed configuration parameters are, for example, node names. Automatic configuration parameters are node parameters of configuration parameter rules. After the node template is applied to the process, the values ​​of the automatic configuration parameters are automatically determined according to the node parameters of other nodes included in the process and the configuration parameter rules. Automatic configuration parameters are, for example, input data of this node related to output data of other nodes. Fixed configuration parameters and automatic configuration parameters can reduce the editing operations of users manually configuring node parameters, facilitate users to directly apply node templates, and improve the efficiency of users editing processes.

[0108] In some possible implementations, the nodes included in the node template may also include unconfigured parameters. Unconfigured parameters are node parameters that need to be manually set by the user. By configuring the unconfigured parameters, the user can flexibly configure the node template so that the node template better meets the needs of process operation and meets the configuration requirements of the user using the node template.

[0109] In addition, the node template includes one or more configured nodes. In the case where the node template includes multiple configured nodes, the node template also includes the connection relationship between the multiple configured nodes. In other words, the node template includes multiple configured nodes and the connection lines between the configured nodes.

[0110] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the generation method of the node template display instruction. In a possible implementation method, the process editing page displays a node insertion control, and triggering the node insertion control can generate a node template display instruction.

[0111] The node insertion control is located in the operation bar, or on the connection line between nodes. For example, the node insertion control is located on the connection line between nodes. Figure 5 As shown, this figure is a schematic diagram of a page provided by an embodiment of the present application. A node template display instruction triggered by a node insertion control is obtained to display an optional node template.

[0112] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner of displaying the optional node template. In one possible implementation, a selection area is displayed. The optional node template is displayed in the selection area. The optional node template can be displayed in the form of a template identifier. The template identifier of the optional node template includes, for example, an image identifier and a text identifier. The image identifier and the text identifier are used to describe the optional node template. The text identifier is, for example, the template name of the optional node template. The template identifier of the optional node template is a selection control. The user can trigger the generation of a selection instruction by selecting the template identifier and confirming the operation. As an example, other process elements can also be selected in the selection area. The selection area includes a node template display control. In response to a trigger operation on the node template display control, the template identifier of the optional node template is displayed in the selection area. Using the node template display control, the process elements displayed in the selection area can be classified and displayed, so that the user can view the optional node template.

[0113] In another possible implementation, a selection menu is displayed, and the selection menu displays the names of the selectable node templates. The user can trigger the generation of the selection instruction by selecting the name and confirming the operation.

[0114] Further, taking the template identification of the optional node template displayed in the selection area as an example, based on the position of the operation control, the target template identification that the user is more concerned about can be determined, and more detailed template information of the optional node template can be displayed to the user.

[0115] In response to determining that the operation control is within the display area of ​​the target template identifier, template information of the selectable node template corresponding to the target template identifier is displayed.

[0116] The operation control is, for example, or is a control controlled by a control device such as a mouse, keyboard, or stylus. By detecting the position of the operation control in the page, the template identifier that the user may want to select is determined, and the optional node template that the user wants to know is determined. When it is detected that the operation control is in the display area of ​​the target template identifier, it is determined that the user may be interested in the target template identifier. The target template identifier is any one of the template identifiers of the displayed optional node templates. The template information of the optional node template corresponding to the target template identifier is displayed. The template information is used to describe the optional node template corresponding to the target template identifier. As an example, the template information is used to describe some of the process tasks that can be implemented by the optional node template corresponding to the target template identifier. As another example, the template information includes text introduction information and a template schematic diagram. The text introduction information is used to describe some of the process tasks that can be implemented by the optional node template. The template schematic diagram is a flowchart composed of the optional node template. The template information can be displayed in the information prompt area. The information prompt area is located near the target template identifier, and the distance from the target template identifier is less than the distance threshold.

[0117] Take the mouse cursor as an example, see Figure 6 As shown, the mouse cursor is located in the display area of ​​the target template identifier of "Get 500+ data". The information prompt area is displayed. The information prompt area includes text introduction information and template schematic diagram. The text introduction information is: Get more than 500 data of a certain object through a loop. Based on the text introduction information, the user can understand some of the process tasks that can be implemented by the optional node template corresponding to the target template identifier, and based on the template schematic diagram, the user can understand the configured nodes included in the optional node template corresponding to the target template identifier and the connection relationship between the configured nodes, which is conducive to the user to select a suitable target node template.

[0118] In addition, in response to obtaining the zoom display operation for the template schematic diagram, the image viewing page is displayed. The zoom display operation for the template schematic diagram is, for example, a click operation on the template schematic diagram, or after triggering the display of the template information, the zoom display operation for the template schematic diagram is generated by triggering a shortcut key.

[0119] The displayed image viewing page includes a template diagram. The image size of the template diagram in the image viewing page is larger than the image size of the template diagram in the information prompt area. This makes it easier for users to view the detailed information of the optional node template. Figure 7 As shown, the image viewing page may be displayed in a pop-up window, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0120] In addition, during the user editing process, the functions of the node template can also be introduced so that the user can understand and use the node template.

[0121] Taking the display of selectable node templates in the selection area as an example, in response to determining that the user triggers the display of the selection area for the first time, the first function introduction text is displayed. The first function introduction text is used to introduce the function of the node template. Figure 8 As shown, the first function introduction text is, for example: by selecting an area to view and apply a node template, help the user create a node. The first function introduction text may also include a link to an operation document. The link to the operation document is used to jump to display the operation document related to applying the node template. The first function introduction text may be displayed in the function prompt area. The function prompt area may also include a close button. The close button is used to close the display of the function prompt area.

[0122] In addition, a function introduction control may be displayed in the selection area. The function introduction control is used to display a second function introduction text. In response to obtaining a trigger operation for the function introduction control, the second function introduction text is displayed. The second function introduction text is used to introduce the function of the node template. The second function introduction text may be the same as the first function introduction text or may be different. For example, the second function introduction text is the same as the first function introduction text. Fig. 9 The second function introduction text may be displayed in the area surrounding the function introduction control. The second function introduction text may also include a link to an operation document.

[0123] S402: In response to obtaining a selection instruction for a target node template, adding the target node template in the first process.

[0124] The target node template is a node template selected by the user from the optional node templates to be added to the first process. A selection instruction for the target node template is obtained, and it is determined that the user selects to add the target node template to the target node template.

[0125] Taking the template identifier of the optional node template as an example, a selection instruction for the template identifier is obtained. The optional node template corresponding to the template identifier is the target node template. Taking the name of the optional node template as an example, a selection instruction for the target name is obtained. The optional node template corresponding to the target name is the target node template.

[0126] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the implementation method of adding the target node template in the first process. In one possible implementation method, the node template display instruction is triggered by the node insertion control. When adding the target node template, the target node template is added at the location of the node insertion control. The added target node template is connected to the node to which the node insertion control is connected. Figure 5 The node insertion position shown is an example. Fig.10As shown, the target node template is connected to the B node and the C node. In another possible implementation, the user can pre-select the location to add the target node template. For example, the user pre-selects the A node and triggers the node template display instruction and the selection instruction for the target node template. The added target node template is connected to the A node and runs after the A node runs, that is, the running order in the first process is the running order of the A node plus 1.

[0127] Based on the above S401-S402, it can be seen that node templates can realize the reuse of configured nodes in multiple processes. Users can select node templates during process editing without recreating and editing nodes, avoiding repeated operations. For users who lack process editing experience, they can select node templates and use other users' process editing experience to reduce invalid operations. Using node templates can reduce users' operating costs and improve users' process editing efficiency.

[0128] In addition, node templates have the pertinence of specific process tasks and the universality of process editing, which allows users to flexibly apply them to a variety of processes. Compared with process templates, node templates include fewer nodes and can execute modularized partial process tasks, allowing users to flexibly build processes that meet their needs using node templates and other customized nodes.

[0129] Furthermore, the configured parameters are displayed in the node area of ​​the target node template added in the first process. Fig.11 As shown, the user can view the configured parameters in the node area of ​​each configured node included in the target node template. The configured parameters in the conditional loop node include: node name: conditional loop; execution condition: XX data is true. The configured parameters of the get record node include: node name: get record; node function: get multiple data records that meet the conditions.

[0130] Displaying the configured parameters helps users understand the configured parameters of the target node template. Users can intuitively understand the editing progress and status of the target node template.

[0131] In another possible implementation, a parameter configuration area of ​​a target node template is displayed. The parameter configuration area is used to edit node parameters of a configured node included in the target node template. The parameter configuration area includes node configuration items of the configured node. Each configuration item corresponds to a node parameter. A user can view or edit node parameters through the node configuration items.

[0132] See also Fig.12As shown, the parameter configuration area can be an editing area for configuring node parameters located outside the canvas area. In the case where the target node template includes multiple configured nodes, the parameter configuration area can display the node parameter configuration items of the configured node selected by the user, or display the node parameter configuration items of the configured node with the first running order in the target node template.

[0133] See also Fig.13 As shown, the parameter configuration area may also belong to the node area of ​​the target node template, and is an area where the configured nodes are displayed in an editable form. If the target node template includes multiple configured nodes, each configured node may be displayed in an editable form.

[0134] Fig.12 and Fig.13 The parameter configuration areas shown are independent of each other and can be displayed together or individually, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0135] For configured parameters, the node configuration item displays the value of the configured parameter. For unconfigured parameters, the node configuration item displays blank. Users can adjust configured parameters and configure unconfigured parameters.

[0136] In the parameter configuration area, users can further adjust the node parameters of configured nodes based on the configured parameters, or configure unconfigured parameters to make the target node template more in line with user requirements.

[0137] In addition, in some possible implementations, the configured node of the target node template also includes unconfigured parameters. Unconfigured parameters are node parameters that are not configured in the configured node. Unconfigured parameters may affect the normal operation of the configured node. For a configured node including unconfigured parameters, the target node template can also be displayed in a prompt display mode. The prompt display mode is used to prompt that the target node template includes unconfigured parameters. The prompt display mode is, for example, a bold node border, a node border color set to red, etc.

[0138] The above is an introduction to the application process of node templates. Node templates can be templates provided by the platform or templates created by users. The following is an introduction to the process of users creating node templates.

[0139] Specifically, the present application embodiment provides a node template creation method, see Fig.14 As shown, it includes the following two steps:

[0140] S1401: In response to obtaining a node template creation instruction, displaying a configuration area of ​​the node template.

[0141] The node template creation instruction is used to trigger the creation of a node template.

[0142] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the implementation method of triggering the node template creation instruction.

[0143] In a possible implementation, the user can generate a node template creation instruction by triggering a displayed node template creation control.

[0144] In another possible implementation, during the process of editing a flow, the user can select at least one configured node as a selected node. A node template creation instruction is triggered for the selected node. In this way, during the process of editing a flow, the user can select a configured node to create a node template, thereby achieving flexible creation of node templates without the need for the user to create a node template separately, simplifying the operation of creating a node template and reducing the cost of creating a node template.

[0145] As an example, at least one configured node may be selected in the second process by means of box selection. The second process may be the first process, or a process different from the first process, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application. Fig.15 As shown, the configured nodes included in the selection box are selected nodes.

[0146] Get the node template creation instruction for the selected node and display the node template editing page. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the method of triggering the node template creation instruction for the selected node. As an example, see Fig.15 As shown, after the selected node is selected, the template creation control is displayed. By triggering the template creation control, a node template creation instruction for the selected node is generated.

[0147] The configuration area of ​​the node template is used to edit the node template. Users can edit the nodes included in the node template, the connection relationship between nodes, and node parameters through the configuration area of ​​the node template. For the node template creation instruction for the selected node, the selected node is displayed in the configuration area. It should be noted that when the selected node includes multiple nodes, the configuration area also displays the connection lines between the selected nodes.

[0148] S1402: In response to obtaining a template configuration instruction through the configuration area, generate a node template.

[0149] As an example, the configuration area includes configuration controls, so that the user can trigger template configuration instructions through the configuration controls to implement configuration of the node template.

[0150] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the content included in the template configuration instructions. For example, the template configuration instructions include adding nodes, deleting nodes, establishing connecting lines between nodes, node parameters, permissions to use node templates, how to use node templates, and introductory text. In this way, users can configure node templates more flexibly through the configuration area to generate node templates that meet user needs. By configuring content for introducing the functions of node templates, it is convenient for other users to understand node templates. By configuring usage permissions, users who use node templates are restricted so that the scope of use of node templates meets the needs.

[0151] As an example, for a configuration area including a selected node, the triggered template configuration instruction includes the node parameters of the selected node. According to the template configuration instruction, the current node parameters of the selected node are configured to obtain the selected node that has completed the configuration, and a node template is generated. The user can edit the edited parameters or unedited parameters in the selected node to configure the node parameters that meet the template requirements, improve the configuration of the selected node, and improve the practicality of the node template generated based on the selected node.

[0152] In some possible implementations, after a node template is edited, the node template may be published so that other users can use the node template.

[0153] In addition to the above steps, you can also obtain the publishing instruction for the node template and publish the node template.

[0154] The configuration area may include a publish button. After the user completes editing the node template, the publish button may be triggered to generate a publish instruction for the node template. The publish instruction is used to publish the node template on the platform. Other users can use the published node template as an optional node template.

[0155] By creating node templates, you can generate node templates that meet the user's actual usage needs, further improving the efficiency of the user's editing process.
