Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of page configuration, and in particular to a method and device for configuring a form page 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, reducing the system availability. Therefore, a workflow configuration scheme based on a graphical method has emerged in the public view. However, the existing drag-and-drop method simply configures the form page by dragging components, saves the form style in the database table in JSON format, and does not perform extensible 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 changes of the nodes, resulting in low system flexibility and being not conducive to non-technical personnel to expand and use. Therefore, in the face of complex requirements that need to dynamically set different forms according to workflow nodes, the current page configuration method can only be developed manually by developers, and the efficiency and flexibility are difficult to meet the current requirements.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the form page configuration method based on workflow nodes provided by the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0050] Step 110: Create a workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow. Among them, the workflow database table contains process description information corresponding to each process node of the current workflow and a matching form ID, and the current value of the matching form ID is empty.

[0051] Step 120: When the user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, determine and display a list of recommended forms corresponding to the any process node based on the business operations of the any process node.

[0052] Step 130: Based on the recommended form selected by the user from the list of recommended forms, construct a form data table and a form attribute data table corresponding to the recommended form, create a form ID for 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.

[0053] Step 140: Based on the user's editing operations on the fields in the recommended form, update the form attribute data table, and update the matching form ID corresponding to the any process node in the workflow database table based on the form ID of the recommended form.

[0054] Specifically, for the current workflow to be configured, create a corresponding workflow database table. Among them, the workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow contains process description information corresponding to each process node of the current workflow, such as fields like nodeId (used to uniquely identify the corresponding process node), node status, and sequence identifier, etc., to track the current state of the workflow and the execution order of each node. In addition, the workflow database table also contains matching form IDs corresponding to each process node, used to mark the form page corresponding to each process node, so that when the workflow progresses from one process node to the next, the system can select a suitable form page based on the matching form ID corresponding to the process node and present it to the user. Among them, the value of the matching form ID corresponding to each current process node is empty.

[0055] When the user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, a list of recommended forms corresponding to the process node can be determined and displayed based on the business operations of the process node, so that the user can select a suitable form page from the list of recommended forms for further configuration. The user does not need to design and configure the form page of the process node step by step from scratch, thus improving the efficiency of the user in configuring the form page of the workflow process node. Based on the recommended form selected by the user from the list of recommended forms, a form data table and a form attribute data table corresponding to the recommended form are constructed. At the same time, 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 included 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. Among them, 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.

[0056] In some embodiments, a form data table and a form attribute data table can be independently created for the recommended form respectively, 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 recommended form according to the current business requirements, the user can perform operations such as adding, deleting, and modifying form fields on the corresponding graphical page. Based on the user's add, delete, and modify operations, the form attribute data table can be modified (add a row of data, delete a row of data, or update a certain row of data) based on the fields corresponding to the add, delete, and modify operations. While realizing the dynamic update of form fields, there is no need to redesign the form page or the table structure of the database table, which improves the flexibility of form page configuration.

[0057] In some other embodiments, each type of form field corresponds to a form attribute data table. If different forms contain the same type of form field, 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 this type of form field in all forms containing this type of form field in the system and the form ID of the corresponding form. When the user performs operations such as adding, deleting, and modifying form fields on the corresponding graphical page based on business requirements, the form attribute data table corresponding to the field can be determined based on the field corresponding to the add, delete, and modify operations, so as to modify the form attribute data table (add a row of data, delete a row of data, or update a certain row of data). Similarly, the dynamic update of form fields can be achieved without redesigning the form page or the table structure of the database table, thereby improving the flexibility of form page configuration.

[0058] Specifically, if the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommended 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;

[0059] If the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommended form is a field addition operation, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the added field, a row corresponding to the added field is created in the corresponding form attribute data table based on the field description information of the added field, and the row corresponding to the added field in the corresponding form attribute data table is updated based on the user's editing operation;

[0060] If the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommended form is a field deletion operation, the corresponding form attribute data table is determined based on the field type of the deleted field, 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 this row is deleted.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the following method can be used to determine the recommended form list corresponding to any process node:

[0062] Step 210, based on the business operations of each process node of different workflows, divide each process node of the different workflows into multiple clusters, and determine the cluster corresponding to the any process node as the candidate cluster;

[0063] Step 220: Based on the matching form IDs corresponding to each process node of the candidate clusters in the workflow database tables corresponding to each workflow and the form attribute data tables corresponding to various form fields, determine the fields included in the forms corresponding to each process node of the candidate clusters and their field description information;

[0064] Step 230: Based on the field types of the fields included in the forms corresponding to each process node of the candidate clusters, determine the occurrence frequencies of each field type among the forms corresponding to each process node of the candidate clusters, and filter out the field types with occurrence frequencies greater than a preset threshold as the fields to be recommended;

[0065] Step 240: Based on the matching form IDs corresponding to each process node of the candidate clusters, query the form attribute data tables corresponding to the fields to be recommended to obtain the query results;

[0066] Step 250: Based on the occurrence frequencies of each matching form ID in the query results, determine the recommended form list.

[0067] 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 is different but the business logic is similar, and the structure of the corresponding form pages is also similar. Therefore, the 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 described above. In some embodiments, the business operation information of different process nodes can be analyzed based on a large language model to perform clustering based on the semantic similarity between the business operation information of different process nodes to obtain the above-mentioned clusters. Subsequently, determine the cluster corresponding to the current process node as the candidate cluster.

[0068] Based on the matching form IDs (not empty) corresponding to each process node of the candidate cluster in the workflow database tables corresponding to each workflow and the form attribute data tables corresponding to various form fields, determine the fields included in the forms corresponding to each process node of the candidate cluster and their field description information. 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 tables corresponding to various form fields can be retrieved based on the matching form ID to retrieve the fields included in the forms corresponding to each process node and their field description information.

[0069] Based on the field types of the fields included in the forms corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster, determine the occurrence frequencies of the respective field types among the forms corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster. Among them, the field types of the fields included in the forms corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster can be used as candidate field types, and a form attribute data table corresponding to the candidate field types can be determined. Subsequently, query the matching form IDs corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster in the form attribute data tables corresponding to the respective candidate field types, and record the hit times of the matching form IDs corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster in the form attribute data tables corresponding to the respective candidate field types as the occurrence frequencies of the respective candidate field types among the forms corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster. Among them, if a matching form ID is hit multiple times in a form attribute data table, its hit time is set to 1 time. On this basis, candidate field types with occurrence frequencies greater than a preset threshold can be screened out as candidate recommended field types.

[0070] Next, based on the matching form IDs corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster, query the form attribute data tables corresponding to the respective candidate recommended field types again to obtain query results. Here, for the form attribute data table corresponding to any candidate recommended field type, the table can be queried based on the matching form IDs corresponding to the respective process nodes of the candidate cluster 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 candidate recommended field type include the matching form IDs hit in the table. Based on the query results corresponding to the form attribute data tables corresponding to all candidate recommended field types, the occurrence frequencies of the respective matching form IDs can be determined, and thus several matching form IDs with the highest occurrence frequencies can be screened out and a recommended form list can be constructed accordingly.

[0071] In some embodiments, in the query results corresponding to the form attribute data table corresponding to any candidate recommended field type, if the matching form IDs hit appear multiple times, only one is retained. Subsequently, count the occurrence frequencies of the respective matching form IDs in the query results corresponding to the form attribute data tables corresponding to all candidate recommended field types to determine the recommended form list.

[0072] In some other embodiments, in the query results corresponding to the form property data table for any field type to be recommended, all hit matching form IDs and the field description information of their corresponding rows are retained. To more precisely construct the recommended form list, clustering can be performed based on the semantic similarity between the field description information in the rows corresponding to each matching form ID in the query results, resulting in multiple field description clusters. Wherein, any field description cluster contains one or more field description information and their corresponding matching form IDs. Based on the occurrence frequency of each matching form ID in each field description cluster, the recommended form list is determined. Wherein, if the occurrence frequency of any matching form ID in any field description cluster is greater than 1, the occurrence frequency of this matching form ID in this field description cluster is determined to be 1. By accumulating the occurrence frequencies of any matching form ID in each field description cluster, the total frequency of this matching form ID can be obtained, and thus based on the total frequencies of each matching form ID, several matching form IDs with the highest total frequencies are selected to construct the recommended form list.

[0073] 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 further 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 property data table corresponding to each type of form field further includes the display permission corresponding to the corresponding field (indicating the display policy corresponding to different permission levels) and the operation permission (indicating the operable type corresponding to different permission levels). When the user triggers a 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 property data table is determined based on the field type of this field, and based on the matching form IDs corresponding to other process nodes of the current workflow and the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node in the workflow database table, the rows corresponding to other process nodes and the current process node are determined from the corresponding form property data table, and based on the field permission setting operation triggered by the user for this field, the display permission and / or operation permission in the rows corresponding to other process nodes and the current process node are updated.

[0074] After the user finishes the editing operation on the recommendation form, update the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node in the workflow database table based on the form ID of the recommendation form. Subsequently, based on the matching form ID corresponding to the current process node in the workflow database table, determine the field description information of the fields corresponding to the matching form ID from the form attribute data tables corresponding to various form fields. Based on the field description information of the fields corresponding to the matching form ID, create a form page for the matching form ID, so that when the user submits a request to access the form page of the current process node, display the form page of the matching form ID to the user. Among them, based on the matching relationship between the permission information of the current process node in the workflow database table and the display permission and operation permission of the fields corresponding to the matching form ID in the form attribute data tables corresponding to various form fields, display the corresponding fields in the form page of the matching form ID to ensure the standardized execution of the process, protect data security, and improve operation compliance.

[0075] Based on any of the above embodiments, the workflow database table further includes timeout configuration fields corresponding to each process node of the current workflow to implement the automated processing and management of the workflow. Among them, the timeout configuration fields include a timeout time and a timeout type; the timeout type indicates whether the corresponding process node enables the automatic transition function, and the timeout time indicates the time to automatically transition to the next process node when the automatic transition function is enabled for the corresponding process node.

[0076] In summary, the method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, by creating a workflow database table corresponding to the current workflow, when the user opens the configuration page of any process node of the current workflow, determines and displays a list of recommendation forms corresponding to the process node based on the business operations of the process node; based on the recommendation form selected by the user from the list of recommendation forms, constructs a form data table and a form attribute data table corresponding to the recommendation form, creates a form ID for the recommendation form, and displays the recommendation form; among them, the form attribute data table stores the field description information of the fields included in the recommendation form and the form ID of the recommendation form; based on the user's editing operation on the fields in the recommendation form, updates the form attribute data table, and updates the matching form ID corresponding to the process node in the workflow database table based on the form ID of the recommendation form, improving the flexibility and efficiency of form page configuration.
