[0022] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] A workflow is an automated process in a table, which is used to automatically execute table data processing according to data changes or reaching a specific condition in the table. The workflow is usually expressed by a UI expression mode, and a user can build nodes of the workflow in a canvas, and then configure a workflow presented by a UI interface. In the current UI expression mode technology, a configurator cannot freely convert a configured workflow into other UI expressions according to self configuration requirements. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, it is a canvas expression mode. In the canvas expression mode, the process is clear in logic, and can be used to process complex processes, but there is a problem of complex interaction. Figure 2As shown, this is the form-based expression method. In this method, the interaction is simple, and the process configuration is convenient and clear, but it's difficult to configure complex processes. Regarding the text-based expression method, for example, "When any record in the data table is modified, send a message to xxx," the interaction is simple and direct, and a process can be described in one sentence. However, for large and complex processes, the large amount of text leads to poor readability. To improve the user experience, different UI expression methods can be built for the same workflow, allowing arbitrary conversion between UI expression methods. However, if different UI expression methods are used, different underlying data structures are required. When a user switches between different UI expression methods, the current data structure needs to be converted to the corresponding data structure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop conversion logic between the data structure of each UI and other data structures. Let each UI expression method be UI i, and the data structure conversion logic from UI x to UI y be x~y. Then, as shown in Table 1, there are... A type of transformation logic.

[0024] Table 1

[0025]

[0026] Therefore, if there are n ways to express a UI, then it is necessary to implement... The current conversion logic leads to a significant increase in development costs each time a new UI expression is added. To address this issue, this application provides a method for converting table workflow layouts, enabling users to freely convert pre-built UI expressions into other UI expressions, thereby reducing configuration costs and improving user experience. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the table workflow layout conversion method, apparatus, electronic device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product provided in this application.

[0027] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of a method for converting a table workflow layout according to an embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by an electronic device, which can be a terminal or a server. In other words, the method can be executed by software installed on the electronic device or by hardware on the electronic device. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0028] S310: In response to a layout transformation operation for a workflow in a table, the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout is transformed into a workflow node in the workflow data object.

[0029] The layout conversion operation is used to indicate conversion of a layout mode of the workflow from the first layout mode to a second layout mode. The layout mode includes a position of a node in the workflow, a logical relationship between nodes, and / or processing logic of table data. The workflow node includes a trigger node, an operation node, and a system behavior node. Each of the workflow nodes and the corresponding first node belongs to a same node type. The data structure of the first data object is different from that of the workflow data object.

[0030] The layout mode is a UI expression mode of the workflow. The data structure of the data object corresponding to different layout modes can be different. For example, the first layout mode is a canvas. The data structure of the data object corresponding to the canvas can be as follows:

[0031]

[0032] The canvas data object includes multiple nodes. Each node corresponds to a label or a component. The nodes have a logical relationship, which includes a dependency relationship and an execution order.

[0033] The first node can be all or part of the nodes in the first data object. The first node can be determined based on a conversion rule corresponding to the first layout mode. For example, the first layout mode is a canvas. As shown in Figure 4 the first data object corresponding to the canvas includes six nodes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The node 6 is a branch node. The branch node includes a child node 6.1. The branch represented by the child node 6.1 further includes a child node 6.11 and a child node 6.12. The first node can include 1, 3, 5, and 6.11. That is, the first node is a node corresponding to an execution step of the workflow.

[0034] Each of the workflow nodes and the corresponding first node belongs to a same node type. That is, the node type remains unchanged during the conversion. For example, if the node type of a node is a branch node, which is used to mark branch logic, the node type of the corresponding workflow node in the converted workflow is also a branch node, which is not used to mark other logic, such as loop logic or sequential logic. Thus, the logical consistency between the nodes is ensured.

[0035] The workflow data object refers to a data structure that defines a layout mode based on a workflow. In an example embodiment, before converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode into a workflow node in the workflow data object, the method further includes defining the workflow data object, wherein the workflow data object includes the following attributes: workflow identification, workflow name, and workflow node set, the workflow node set includes the trigger node, the operation node, and the system behavior node, the trigger node, the operation node, and the system behavior node inherit from a base node, the base node is used to define the base attributes of the workflow node, the base attributes include: node identification, node name, and next node identification, the trigger node is used to listen to events and execute the next node indicated by the trigger node when the condition is met, the operation node is used to implement workflow execution operations, and the system behavior node is used to implement the logical scheduling of the workflow, the system behavior node further includes an extension attribute, and the extension attribute is used to define a sub-node. As shown in Figure 5 the workflow data object is composed of nodes and connections between nodes, wherein the trigger node can include a timing trigger node, a Webhook trigger node, and other trigger nodes, the operation node can include a sending node, a third-party plug-in operation node, and other operation nodes, and the system behavior node can include a branch node, a loop node, and other system behavior nodes. As shown in

[0036]

[0037] It can be understood that in the workflow data object, each node indicates the execution order through the next node identification attribute. The extension attribute of the system behavior node defines a sub-node corresponding to the system behavior node.

[0038] In the process of converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode into a workflow node in the workflow data object, each first node is processed according to its node type. For example, if a first node is a branch node, the branch node and the sub-nodes included in the branch node are converted, and then the next first node is converted.

[0039] S320: converting the workflow node in the workflow data object into a second node in a second data object corresponding to the second layout mode.

[0040] Each of the workflow nodes and the corresponding second nodes belongs to the same node type, and the data structure of the second data object is different from that of the workflow data object.

[0041] S330: rendering the second data object by the second layout mode, presenting the workflow.

[0042] It can be understood that when switching between different layout modes, a conversion relationship between the two needs to be established. In the embodiments of the present application, the switching between different layout modes can be realized by a workflow data object. Each layout mode only needs to implement conversion logic with the workflow data object. In S110, the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode is converted into a workflow node in the workflow data object. In this step, the workflow node in the workflow data object is converted into a second node in the second data object corresponding to the second layout mode. For example, as shown in Figure 6 when the user switches the UI expression mode, the data object corresponding to the current UI1 is converted into the workflow data object, and then the workflow data object is converted into the data object corresponding to the target UI2, so as to realize the conversion from the first layout mode to the second layout mode. During the conversion process, each workflow node and the corresponding second node have the same node type.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, by responding to the layout conversion operation of the workflow in the table, the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode is converted into a workflow node in the workflow data object, wherein the layout conversion operation is used to indicate that the layout mode of the workflow is converted from the first layout mode to the second layout mode, the layout mode includes the position of the node in the workflow, the logical relationship between the nodes and / or the processing logic of the table data, the workflow node includes a trigger node, an operation node and a system behavior node, each workflow node and the corresponding first node belong to the same node type, the data structure of the first data object is different from the data structure of the workflow data object, then the workflow node in the workflow data object is converted into a second node in the second data object corresponding to the second layout mode, wherein each workflow node and the corresponding second node belong to the same node type, the data structure of the second data object is different from the data structure of the workflow data object, finally the second data object is rendered by the second layout mode, and the workflow is presented. In this way, the same workflow can be presented in different workflow interfaces in the database table, so that the same workflow can correspond to multiple layout modes. The configurator can freely convert the configured workflow into other UI expressions according to the configuration requirements, thereby reducing the configuration cost and improving the user experience of using the workflow.

[0044] In an example embodiment, the converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode into a workflow node in the workflow data object comprises: converting the first node in the first data object into the workflow node in the workflow data object according to a node conversion rule corresponding to the first layout mode.

[0045] In an example embodiment, the converting the workflow node in the workflow data object into a second node in the second data object corresponding to the second layout mode comprises: converting the workflow node in the workflow data object into the second node in the second data object according to a node conversion rule corresponding to the second layout mode.

[0046] With regard to the above example embodiment, it can be understood that the conversion of the data object of each layout mode into the workflow data object is performed according to the conversion rule of the layout mode, that is, the node conversion rule is used to realize the conversion between the data object corresponding to the layout mode and the workflow data object. In this way, if there are n layout modes, n conversion rules are required, that is, each layout mode only needs to realize the conversion with the workflow data object, and in addition, after a new layout mode is added, only the conversion rule between the data object of the layout mode and the workflow data object needs to be configured, which reduces the configuration cost and improves the flexibility of the switching process.

[0047] In an example embodiment, before the converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout mode into a workflow node in the workflow data object, the method further comprises: constructing a first data converter corresponding to the first layout mode and a second data converter corresponding to the second layout mode, wherein the first data converter is used to realize the conversion between the first data object and the workflow data object according to the node conversion rule corresponding to the first layout mode, and the second data converter is used to realize the conversion between the workflow data object and the second data object according to the node conversion rule corresponding to the second layout mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the first layout mode, i.e., UI 1, is rendered, the user switches UI 1 to UI 2, and the workflow data processor starts processing the data conversion operation after receiving the command. The data object corresponding to UI 1 being rendered is converted into the workflow data object through the UI 1 data converter, and then the workflow data object is converted into the data object corresponding to UI 2 through the UI 2 data converter. The converted data object corresponding to UI 2 is handed over to the page for rendering. Figure 7

[0048] ​​In an example embodiment, after the converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout into a workflow node in the workflow data object, the method further comprises: generating a derived node corresponding to the second layout according to a node conversion rule corresponding to the second layout; and adding node information of the derived node into the second data object.

[0049] It can be understood that the nodes included in the workflow data object correspond to an execution logic of the workflow, and the data object corresponding to the layout can further include derived nodes in addition to the first node, which do not affect the execution logic of the workflow. Therefore, when converting the first data object corresponding to the first layout into the workflow data object, only the first node is converted. For example, continuing to refer to the above example, the canvas includes 6 nodes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and 3 sub-nodes: 6.1, 6.11, and 6.12, wherein the nodes 1, 3, 5, and the sub-node 6.11 are the first nodes, and the nodes 2, 4, and the sub-nodes 6.1 and 6.12 are the derived nodes. In the conversion process, the nodes 1, 3, 5, and the sub-node 6.11 correspond to a workflow node respectively. If the second layout is a canvas, in the conversion process, in addition to converting the workflow node into a second node, a derived node is further generated according to the conversion rule corresponding to the canvas, and node information of the derived node is added into the second data object. In this way, a complete second layout is obtained when rendering, so as to ensure the accuracy of the conversion and the integrity of the nodes. Figure 4

[0050] In an example embodiment, after the converting the first node in the first data object corresponding to the first layout into a workflow node in the workflow data object, the method further comprises: storing the workflow data object corresponding to the workflow.

[0051] It can be understood that when the user switches the layout for the first time, the layout needs to be converted into a workflow data object first, and this process can consume time. In order to improve the conversion rate, the workflow data object after each conversion can be stored, so that when the user switches from the first layout again, the conversion between the workflow data object and the second data object can be directly performed, the conversion rate is improved, and the user experience is improved.

[0057] In an example embodiment, the conversion apparatus of the table workflow layout further comprises a second processing module configured to define the workflow data object, wherein the workflow data object comprises the following attributes: a workflow identifier, a workflow name, and a workflow node set, the workflow node set comprising the trigger node, the operation node, and the system behavior node, the trigger node, the operation node, and the system behavior node inheriting from a base node, the base node being configured to define base attributes of the workflow node, the base attributes comprising a node identifier, a node name, and a next node identifier, the trigger node being configured to listen to an event and execute a next node indicated by the trigger node when the event is met, the operation node being configured to implement a workflow execution operation, and the system behavior node being configured to implement a logical scheduling of the workflow, the system behavior node further comprising an extended attribute configured to define a sub-node.
