[0029] Workflow: is an abstract and general description of the business rules between the workflow and its operation steps. Workflow modeling is to express the logic and rules of how the work in the workflow is organized in a proper model in the computer and to calculate it. The main problem that workflow needs to solve is: to achieve a certain business goal, use computers to automatically transfer documents, information or tasks between multiple participants according to certain predetermined rules.

[0030] In related technologies, the following problems may be encountered when implementing business processes through hard coding: 1. If the requirements are not considered carefully and the process is constantly modified after going online, it will lead to a huge workload for code and poor system stability, and bring huge risks to subsequent operations and maintenance; 2. Since the organizational structure of the unit will be adjusted from time to time, business process changes will occur, resulting in constant modification and adjustment of the system process code; 3. The business process is relatively complex, uses many states, and is prone to errors.

[0031] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide corresponding solutions, which are described in detail below.

[0032] The workflow determination method embodiment provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Figure 1 The hardware structure block diagram of a computer terminal (or electronic device) for implementing a method for determining a workflow is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the computer terminal 10 (or electronic device 10) may include one or more (102a, 102b, ..., 102n are used to illustrate) processors (the processor may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA), a memory 104 for storing data, and a transmission module 106 for communication functions.

Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0033] It should be noted that the one or more processors and / or other data processing circuits described above may generally be referred to herein as "data processing circuits".

[0035] The transmission module 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. The specific example of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the computer terminal 10. In one example, the transmission module 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission module 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0036] The display may be, for example, a touch screen liquid crystal display (LCD) that enables a user to interact with a user interface of the computer terminal 10 (or electronic device).

[0037] It should be noted that, in some optional embodiments, the above Figure 1 The computer device (or electronic device) shown may include hardware elements (including circuits), software elements (including computer code stored on a computer-readable medium), or a combination of hardware elements and software elements. It should be noted that Figure 1This is merely one example of a particular embodiment and is intended to illustrate the types of components that may be present in the above-described computer device (or electronic device).

[0038] In the above-mentioned operating environment, an embodiment of the present application provides an embodiment of a method for determining a workflow. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0039] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining a workflow according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0040] Step S202, obtaining the work links included in the target workflow, wherein the target workflow is determined based on business requirements.

[0041] In the above step S202, different work processes include different work links, such as equipment procurement process, acceptance process, maintenance process, etc. The work links can be determined according to different business needs, and then the target workflow can be determined according to the work links.

[0042] Step S204, determining the attribute information of the target link in the work link, wherein the target link is any work link in the target workflow.

[0043] In the above step S204, in the target workflow, such as the equipment procurement workflow, it may include multiple links, each of which can be called a target link. Different links have different attribute information. Therefore, in the process of process design, it is necessary to determine the attribute information of the target link.

[0044] Step S206, determining the execution order of the target links in the target workflow according to the attribute information.

[0045] In the above step S206, the attribute information in the target link contains rich information. For example, the attribute information may include but is not limited to the location information of the target link in the target workflow, the executing user of the target link, etc.

[0046] Step S208, connecting the target link and the work links adjacent to the target link in the target workflow according to the execution order to obtain the target workflow.

[0047] In the above step S208, the execution order of the target link in the target workflow is determined in the above step S206, and then the work links adjacent to the target link in the target workflow can be determined, and the target link and the work links adjacent to it are connected according to the execution order to finally obtain the target workflow.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the above steps S202 to S208 can be implemented through a workflow system, which includes a computer and a workflow definition tool and a workflow engine in the computer. The workflow definition tool directly represents the process as a process definition code executable by the computer, and the workflow engine directly calls the process definition code. When the workflow changes, the workflow system only needs to modify the workflow definition tool without modifying the code of the workflow engine, which greatly facilitates the development, maintenance and use of the workflow management system, is conducive to improving the work efficiency of the enterprise, and achieves the purpose of simplifying the workflow, thereby achieving the technical effect of facilitating the maintenance of business processes and reducing workload, thereby solving the technical problem that the existing technology implements business processes through hard coding, which has a large workload and complex maintenance.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the above steps can be implemented through a graphical process configuration tool, which provides a flexible and powerful graphical process configuration, supports drag-and-drop configuration process, helps business personnel achieve visual process reengineering and design, and quickly responds to business needs. Figure 3a is a schematic diagram of a graphical process design according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3a As shown, the left side of the page includes the tool set of the configuration tool, including copy, update, select, connect, link, etc. The copy function can realize the copy operation of a certain link or a certain workflow, the update function can update the current page, the selection function can select different tools, or select attribute information, etc. The connection function is used to connect different links, and the link function can be used to set the target link included in the target workflow. The design and display of the process can be realized in the middle of the page, and the attribute information of the current link can be set on the right side of the page, for example, it can include: number, node name, execution user, to-do form, completed form, execution task, node description, execution math, expression, whether to start, whether to end, whether transaction, fallback method, execution value, task value, to-do value, completed value, etc.

[0050] In the process of executing workflow design, semantic legality checks are used to help users define standardized processes; process definition documents are stored in XML format, and unified management is adopted for the use and maintenance of results. Using graphical methods, system administrators can design or modify workflows in the shortest time. Modeling tools provide a fairly rich process logic expression method that can represent very complex processes. Process administrators can quickly copy and redefine processes through the import, export, and clone functions provided by the process definition tool.

[0051] Figure 3b This is a schematic diagram of an execution user selection according to an embodiment of the present application. When selecting the execution user of the current link, the selection can be made according to the position or the specific user. The specific setting can be made according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0052] Figure 3c This is a schematic diagram of selecting execution users according to positions according to an embodiment of the present application. When selecting execution users according to positions, the following categories are specifically included: 1. Work positions; 2. System users; 3. LIMS external users; 4. LIMS; 5. Analysts; 6. Others. When selecting analysts, Figure 3a Add information corresponding to the analyst to the execution value in .

[0053] In the process of designing the target workflow, the above configuration tool provides flexible and powerful form design functions. The form design adopts a visual configuration method, such as Figure 3d As shown in a form detail diagram according to an embodiment of the present application, the form customization tool should provide multiple types of controls and various form templates for staff to use, reduce the difficulty of design, fully meet the business needs of the enterprise, and be convenient, practical, simple and easy to use.

[0054] Figure 3e is a reference model diagram of a workflow according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3e As shown, the workflow interface and exchange format include a workflow execution service, which is implemented by a workflow engine. The workflow engine is connected to other tools, applications or services through different workflow interfaces, for example, the process definition tool is connected through interface one, the client application is connected through interface two, the calling application is connected through interface three, other workflow execution services are connected through interface four, and the management tool is connected through interface five.

[0055] In step S204 of the above-mentioned workflow determination method, the attribute information of the target link in the work link is determined, which specifically includes the following steps: determining a first information template corresponding to the target link from the information template, wherein the first information template is a template of the attribute information contained in the target link; when the first information template does not exist in the information template, determining a second information template from the information template, wherein the second information template is any one of the information templates; in response to a modification instruction of the target object, modifying the second information template to the first information template, and saving the first information template; and determining the attribute information of the target link based on the first information template.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, in order to save the design time of the workflow, the information templates corresponding to different links can be pre-set. For example, in the equipment procurement process, the first link is the approval link, then the (attribute) information required for the approval link can be set first to generate the information template corresponding to the approval link. When the first information template required for the target link does not exist in the information template, the required first information template can be determined according to any information template in the information template (i.e., the above-mentioned second information template). In order to facilitate subsequent use, the generated first information template can be saved at the same time. According to the information in the first information template, the attribute information of the target link can be determined, and the attribute information includes but is not limited to the executing user, location information, etc.

[0057] In step S206 of the above-mentioned workflow determination method, the execution order of the target link in the target workflow is determined based on the attribute information, which specifically includes the following steps: determining the position information of the target link in the target workflow from the attribute information; determining the previous link of the target link and the next link of the target link based on the position information and the attribute information; determining the execution order of the target link in the target workflow based on the target link, the previous link and the next link.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the attribute information of the target link includes the position information of the target link in the target workflow, such as whether it is a start node, whether it is an end node, etc. At the same time, based on other information in the attribute information, for example, by specifying the next node and the previous node, the previous link of the target link and the next link of the target link are determined, and then the execution order of the target link in the target workflow is determined according to the order of the previous link of the target link, the target link, and the next link of the target link.

[0059] In the above steps, the previous link of the target link and the next link of the target link are determined based on the position information and the attribute information, which specifically includes the following steps: when the position information indicates that the target link is the starting position in the target workflow, the previous link of the target link is determined to be empty, and the next link of the target link is determined from the attribute information; when the position information indicates that the target link is the ending position in the target workflow, the previous link of the target link is determined from the attribute information, and the next link of the target link is determined to be empty; when the position information indicates that the target link is not the starting position and is not the ending position, the previous link of the target link and the next link of the target link are determined from the attribute information.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, when the target link is at a different position in the target workflow, the corresponding previous link and next link will change. Specifically, there are three situations:

[0061] The first situation: when the location information of the target link indicates that the target link is the starting position of the target workflow, the previous link of the target link is empty. At this time, the previous link cannot be specified, but the next link of the target link can be specified, for example, the next link of the target link is determined by attribute information.

[0062] The second situation: when the location information of the target link indicates that the target link is the end position of the target workflow, the next link of the target link is empty. At this time, the next link cannot be specified, but the previous link of the target link can be specified, for example, the previous link of the target link can be determined through attribute information.

[0063] The third situation: when the location information of the target link indicates that the target link is neither at the start position of the target workflow nor at the end position of the target workflow, the previous link and the next link can be specified at the same time, for example, the previous link and the next link of the target link can be determined through attribute information.

[0064] In step S208 of the above-mentioned method for determining the workflow, after the target link and the work link adjacent to the target link in the target workflow are connected according to the execution order to obtain the target workflow, the method specifically also includes the following steps: determining the attribute information of the current link as the first attribute information, wherein the current link is the work link being processed in the target workflow; determining the first execution user from the first attribute information, wherein the first execution user is used to execute the current link; publishing the current link to the first execution user, and obtaining the execution status of the current link, wherein the first execution user executes the current link according to the execution authority possessed.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, after the target workflow is designed, when executing the target workflow, the first execution user who executes the current link can be determined according to the attribute information of the current link, and the current link is published to the client application used by the first execution user through the corresponding interface, such as interface 2, and the first execution user executes the current link according to the execution authority he has. For example, when the execution authority of the first execution user does not include the transfer of work, the first execution user cannot transfer the current link to other users for execution; when the execution authority of the first execution user includes the transfer of work, the first execution user can transfer the current link to other users for execution.

[0066] In the above steps, after the current link is published to the first execution user, the method specifically also includes the following steps: if the first execution user fails to process the current link for more than a preset period of time, the execution user of the current link is adjusted from the first execution user to the second execution user, wherein the second execution user has the same execution authority as the first execution user; and the first execution user in the first attribute information is modified to the second execution user.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, when the process approval cannot be circulated in time due to special reasons, it supports the control and adjustment of the process, and provides functions such as proxy approval, handover, and automatic issuance of expired items. After the current link is released to the first execution user, the first execution user should process it within the preset time. Within the preset time, for example, if the first execution user does not process it within the first preset time, the first execution user is notified through a reminder message to process the current link as soon as possible. When the first execution user does not process the current link within the second preset time after receiving the reminder message, the execution user of the current link is adjusted from the first execution user to the second execution user, and the second execution user has the same execution authority as the first execution user. The above-mentioned preset time includes the first preset time and the second preset time. The adjustment process is automatically triggered and does not require manual operation.

[0068] In the above steps, the execution status of the current link is obtained, which specifically includes the following steps: when the execution status of the current link is an abnormal state, determining the abnormal level to which the current link belongs; and performing corresponding processing on the current link according to the abnormal level.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the data of the entire workflow process is obtained in real time to ensure the normal operation of various services, and the abnormal conditions (such as service termination, transmission failure) are transmitted to the system log module so that the error handling module can perform error handling. According to the abnormal conditions recorded in the system log (collected by the system monitoring module), the predefined processing paths are respectively carried out, such as restarting the service, retransmitting data, and alarming. Legitimate users can successfully log in to the monitoring system, and all processes and instances of various states can be correctly displayed. Authorized users can activate, suspend, cancel suspension, terminate, and delete operations, and the current relevant data of the instance can be displayed. In the process of operating, authorized users can start, terminate, suspend, roll back, and retract the process instance through routing control. Routing control uses rule-based routing to establish connections between different application systems. This function reduces manual intervention and makes operations faster and more correct.

[0070] Specifically, during the execution of the target workflow, the execution status of the current link is obtained in real time. When the execution status of the current link is in an abnormal state, the abnormal level is determined according to the specific abnormal situation, and the current link is processed differently according to different abnormal levels. For example, the abnormal state can be divided into the following situations: 1. The current link is longer than the preset time and has not been processed, which belongs to the first type of abnormality. The processing of the first type of abnormality is: adjusting the first execution user of the current link to the second execution user; 2. The flow from the current link to the next link is abnormal, which belongs to the second type of abnormality. The processing of the second type of abnormality is: re-execute the flow process from the current link to the next link; 3. The execution authority of the execution user of the current link exceeds the execution authority it has, which belongs to the third type of abnormality. The processing method for the third type of abnormality is: generate a warning message to notify the administrator to modify the execution authority of the execution user. It should be noted that the above-mentioned abnormality levels and their corresponding processing methods are only examples and do not represent limitations. The abnormality levels and corresponding processing methods can be increased according to actual conditions, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] In the above-mentioned method for determining the workflow, the method specifically also includes the following steps: determining a flowchart corresponding to the target workflow; displaying a first color in the flowchart when the target link in the target workflow is processed; and displaying a second color in the flowchart when the target link in the target workflow is not processed.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, during the execution of the target workflow, a graphical process tracking (i.e., the flowchart described above) and a process reproduction with animation effects are provided, so that the process flow and the current status can be clearly seen at a glance, and detailed process details are provided, providing an accurate and quantifiable reference basis for process management efficiency. Different processing states are represented by different colors. For example, blue is used to represent the trajectory of the process (i.e., the target link in the target workflow is processed), and gray is used to represent the link that has not been passed in the process (i.e., the target link in the target workflow is not processed).

[0073] The method for determining the workflow provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages: 1. With the help of the workflow engine, the business can be visualized. The entire business process can be seen through the view. It is clear at a glance what business logic is executed by each node, and the branch processing and exception handling are also very clear; 2. The business can be arranged. The rearrangement of the workflow process can make the business further increase flexibility at the code level, quickly adjust the business process through the adjustment of the nodes, and flexibly add and delete nodes without affecting the entire process; 3. Automatic retry, the workflow platform supports dynamic addition and deletion of business functions in the process when the business changes. For example, some complex processes have many node dependency conditions, and it is likely that the processing fails and needs to be retried, but you don’t want to retry all the nodes. At this time, the persistence and node retry capabilities of the workflow engine are a perfect solution.
