Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of page configuration, and in particular to a form page configuration method and device based on workflow nodes. Background Art

[0002] In software development, traditional workflow node pages are manually developed by front-end developers. When the form page needs to be modified, the front-end page needs to be redeployed, which reduces the system availability. Therefore, a workflow configuration solution based on a graphical method has emerged in the public eye. However, the existing drag-and-drop method is to perform simple form page configuration by dragging components, and save the form style in JSON format to the database table without any scalable processing. This simple drag-and-drop configuration method is often limited to the customization of static pages. Once the form is designed, it is difficult to dynamically adjust it without modifying the code or redesigning the template. In addition, when the generated form page is combined with the workflow configuration, it is difficult to dynamically switch and adjust the form content according to the current state of the workflow or the change of the node. The system has low flexibility and is not conducive to the expansion of non-technical personnel. Therefore, when faced with complex requirements that require dynamic setting of different forms according to workflow nodes, the current page configuration method can only be developed by developers through manual coding, and the efficiency and flexibility are difficult to meet current needs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the form page configuration method based on workflow nodes provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 110, creating a workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow; wherein the workflow database table contains process description information and matching form ID corresponding to each process node of the current workflow, and the current value of the matching form ID is empty; Step 120, when the user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, a recommended form list corresponding to any process node is determined and displayed based on the business operation of the any process node; Step 130: Based on the recommended form selected by the user from the recommended form list, construct a form data table and a form attribute data table corresponding to the recommended form, create a form ID of the recommended form, and display the recommended form; the form attribute data table stores field description information of the fields included in the recommended form and the form ID of the recommended form; Step 140: based on the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommendation form, update the form attribute data table, and based on the form ID of the recommendation form, update the matching form ID corresponding to any process node in the workflow database table.

[0022] Specifically, for the current workflow to be configured, a corresponding workflow database table is created for it. Among them, the workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow contains the process description information corresponding to each process node of the current workflow, such as nodeId (used to uniquely identify the corresponding process node), node status and sequence identification fields, so as to track the current state of the workflow and the execution order of each node. In addition, the workflow database table also contains the matching form ID corresponding to each process node, which is used to mark the form page corresponding to each process node, so that when the workflow advances from one process node to the next process node, the system can select the appropriate form page according to the matching form ID corresponding to the process node to present to the user. Among them, the value of the matching form ID corresponding to each process node is currently empty.

[0023] When a user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, the recommended form list corresponding to the process node can be determined and displayed based on the business operation of the process node, so that the user can select a suitable form page from the recommended form list for further configuration. The user does not need to design and configure the form page of the process node step by step from scratch, thereby improving the efficiency of the user configuring the form page of the workflow process node. Based on the recommended form selected by the user from the recommended form list, the form data table and form attribute data table corresponding to the recommended form are constructed, and a new form ID is created for the recommended form, and the page corresponding to the recommended form is displayed. Among them, the form attribute data table stores the field description information of each field contained in the recommended form and the newly created form ID of the recommended form. The form data table includes the newly created form ID (primary key) of the recommended form, form name, form description, form data and form application, etc., wherein the form data is mainly used to store form style configuration information, and the form application is mainly used to distinguish the application module to which the recommended form belongs. It should be noted that the form data can be determined by the form designer when designing the recommended form.

[0024] In some embodiments, a form data table and a form attribute data table can be independently created for the recommendation form, that is, different forms correspond to different form data tables and different form attribute data tables. When the user needs to edit and modify the recommendation form according to current business needs, the user can add, delete, and modify the form fields on the corresponding graphical page. Based on the user's addition, deletion, and modification operations, the form attribute data table can be modified based on the fields corresponding to the addition, deletion, and modification operations (add a row of data, delete a row of data, or update a row of data), thereby achieving dynamic updates of form fields without the need to redesign the form page or redesign the table structure of the database table, thereby improving the flexibility of the form page configuration.

[0025] In other embodiments, each type of form field corresponds to a form attribute data table. If different forms contain the same type of form fields, the above different forms can correspond to the same form attribute data table, and one form corresponds to one or more form attribute data tables (depending on the number and type of fields in the form). Among them, the form attribute data table corresponding to any type of form field stores the field description information of the form field of this type in all forms in the system that contain the form field of this type and the form ID of the corresponding form. When the user adds, deletes and modifies the form field on the corresponding graphical page based on business needs, the form attribute data table corresponding to the field can be determined based on the field corresponding to the addition, deletion and modification operation, so as to modify the form attribute data table (add a row of data, delete a row of data or update a row of data). It can also realize the dynamic update of the form field without redesigning the form page or redesigning the table structure of the database table, thereby improving the flexibility of the form page configuration.

[0026] Specifically, if the user's editing operation on a field in the recommendation form is a field modification operation, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the modified field, the row corresponding to the modified field in the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field description information of the modified field, and the row corresponding to the modified field in the corresponding form attribute data table is updated based on the user's editing operation; If the user's editing operation on a field in the recommendation form is a field adding operation, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the newly added field, a row corresponding to the newly added field is created in the corresponding form attribute data table based on the field description information of the newly added field, and the row corresponding to the newly added field in the corresponding form attribute data table is updated based on the user's editing operation; If the user's editing operation on a field in the recommendation form is a field deletion operation, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the deleted field, and the row corresponding to the deleted field in the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field description information of the deleted field and the row is deleted.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the recommended form list corresponding to any process node can be determined in the following way: Step 210, based on the business operations of the various process nodes of the different workflows, the various process nodes of the different workflows are divided into a plurality of clusters, and a cluster corresponding to any of the process nodes is determined as a cluster to be selected; Step 220, based on the matching form IDs corresponding to the process nodes of the to-be-selected clusters in the workflow database table corresponding to each workflow and the form attribute data tables corresponding to various form fields, determine the fields and their field description information contained in the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the to-be-selected clusters; Step 230, based on the field types of the fields contained in the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected, determine the occurrence frequency of each field type between the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected, and select the field types with an occurrence frequency greater than a preset threshold as the field types to be recommended; Step 240, based on the matching form ID corresponding to each process node of the to-be-selected cluster, query the form attribute data table corresponding to the to-be-recommended field type to obtain a query result; Step 250: Determine a recommended form list based on the occurrence frequency of each matching form ID in the query result.

[0028] Here, considering that there are process nodes with similar business operations in different workflows, such as approval, basic information entry, etc., although the specific data faced by the business operations are different, the business logic is similar, and the structure of the corresponding form page is also similar. Therefore, the various process nodes of different workflows can be divided into multiple clusters according to the actual application scenario, where the process nodes in the same cluster are the process nodes with the same or similar business operations as mentioned above. In some embodiments, the business operation information of different process nodes can be analyzed based on a large language model, and clustering can be performed based on the semantic similarity between the business operation information of different process nodes to obtain the above clusters. Subsequently, the cluster corresponding to the current process node is determined as the cluster to be selected.

[0029] Based on the matching form ID (not empty) corresponding to each process node of the candidate cluster in the workflow database table corresponding to each workflow and the form attribute data table corresponding to each form field, the fields and their field description information contained in the form corresponding to each process node of the candidate cluster are determined. Here, the corresponding workflow database table can be obtained according to the workflow corresponding to each process node in the candidate cluster, and then the workflow database table can be retrieved based on the nodeId of each process node to determine the matching form ID corresponding to each process node, and the form attribute data table corresponding to each form field can be retrieved based on the matching form ID, so as to retrieve the fields and their field description information contained in the form corresponding to each process node.

[0030] Based on the field types of the fields contained in the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected, the frequency of occurrence of each field type between the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected is determined. Among them, the field types of the fields contained in the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected can be used as the field types to be selected, and the form attribute data table corresponding to the field types to be selected is determined. Subsequently, the matching form IDs corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected are queried in the form attribute data table corresponding to each field type to be selected, and the number of hits of the matching form IDs corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected in the form attribute data table corresponding to each field type to be selected is recorded as the frequency of occurrence of each field type to be selected between the forms corresponding to the process nodes of the cluster to be selected. Among them, if a matching form ID hits multiple times in a form attribute data table, its hit count is set to 1. On this basis, the field types to be selected whose occurrence frequency is greater than the preset threshold can be screened as the field types to be recommended.

[0031] Next, based on the matching form IDs corresponding to each process node of the cluster to be selected, the form attribute data tables corresponding to each field type to be recommended are queried again to obtain the query results. Here, for the form attribute data table corresponding to any field type to be recommended, the table can be queried based on the matching form IDs corresponding to each process node of the cluster to be selected, so as to determine the matching form IDs hit in the table. That is, the query results corresponding to the form attribute data table corresponding to any field type to be recommended include the matching form IDs hit in the table. Based on the query results corresponding to the form attribute data tables corresponding to all field types to be recommended, the frequency of occurrence of each matching form ID can be determined, thereby screening out several matching form IDs with the highest frequency of occurrence and constructing a recommended form list accordingly.

[0032] In some embodiments, if a matching form ID appears multiple times in the query results corresponding to the form attribute data table corresponding to any field type to be recommended, only one is retained. Subsequently, the occurrence frequency of each matching form ID in the query results corresponding to the form attribute data table corresponding to all field types to be recommended is counted to determine a recommended form list.

[0033] In other embodiments, the query result corresponding to the form attribute data table corresponding to any field type to be recommended retains all the matching form IDs that are hit and the field description information of the row where they are located. In order to more accurately construct the recommended form list, clustering can be performed based on the semantic similarity between the field description information in the row where each matching form ID is located in the query result to obtain multiple field description clusters. Among them, any field description cluster contains one or more field description information and its corresponding matching form ID. Based on the frequency of occurrence of each matching form ID in each field description cluster, the recommended form list is determined. Among them, if the frequency of occurrence of any matching form ID in any field description cluster is greater than 1, it is determined that the frequency of occurrence of the matching form ID in the field description cluster is 1. By accumulating the frequency of occurrence of any matching form ID in each field description cluster, the total frequency of the matching form ID can be obtained, so that based on the total frequency of each matching form ID, several matching form IDs with the highest total frequency are screened to construct the recommended form list.

[0034] Based on any of the above embodiments, the process description information corresponding to each process node of the current workflow in the workflow database table also includes the permission information of the corresponding process node (indicating the permission level of the corresponding process node), and the field description information of each field in the form attribute data table corresponding to each form field also includes the display permission (indicating the display strategy corresponding to different permission levels) and operation permission (indicating the operable type corresponding to different permission levels) corresponding to the corresponding field. When the user triggers the field permission setting operation for any field of the recommended form, a batch permission setting confirmation prompt is displayed. If the batch permission setting confirmation information triggered by the user is received, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the field, and based on the matching form ID corresponding to other process nodes of the current workflow in the workflow database table and the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node, the rows corresponding to other process nodes and the current process node are determined from the corresponding form attribute data table, and based on the field permission setting operation triggered by the user for the field, the display permission and / or operation permission in the rows corresponding to other process nodes and the current process node are updated.

[0035] After the user completes the editing operation on the recommended form, the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node in the workflow database table is updated based on the form ID of the recommended form. Subsequently, based on the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node in the workflow database table, the field description information of the field corresponding to the above matching form ID is determined from the form attribute data table corresponding to each form field. Based on the field description information of the field corresponding to the above matching form ID, a form page of the matching form ID is created so that when the user submits a form page access request for the current process node, the form page of the matching form ID is displayed to the user. Among them, based on the matching relationship between the display authority and the operation authority of the field corresponding to the matching form ID in the form attribute data table corresponding to each form field and the permission information of the current process node in the workflow database table, the corresponding fields in the form page of the matching form ID can be displayed to ensure the standardized execution of the process, protect data security, and improve operational compliance.

[0036] Based on any of the above embodiments, the workflow database table also includes a timeout configuration field corresponding to each process node of the current workflow to realize automated processing and management of the workflow. The timeout configuration field includes a timeout time and a timeout type; the timeout type indicates whether the corresponding process node has an automatic flow function enabled, and the timeout time indicates the time to automatically flow to the next process node when the automatic flow function is enabled at the corresponding process node.

[0037] In summary, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention creates a workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow. When the user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, the recommended form list corresponding to the process node is determined and displayed based on the business operation of the process node; based on the recommended form selected by the user from the recommended form list, a form data table and a form attribute data table corresponding to the recommended form are constructed, a form ID of the recommended form is created, and the recommended form is displayed; wherein the form attribute data table stores the field description information of the fields included in the recommended form and the form ID of the recommended form; based on the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommended form, the form attribute data table is updated, and the matching form ID corresponding to the process node in the workflow database table is updated based on the form ID of the recommended form, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the form page configuration.
