[0021] Traditional visual workflow editing services, limited by the space of a single page, struggle to balance high readability and high editability on the canvas, resulting in low development and maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, traditional workflow editing services suffer from issues such as the inability to edit workflows and resources on the same screen, and the inability to route between workflows and resources.

[0022] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for editing a workflow. According to the solution, an editing interface for a workflow is displayed, wherein the workflow includes a set of nodes; in response to receiving a preset operation on a target node in the set of nodes, a first resource identifier associated with the target node is determined; and based on the first resource identifier, a resource component associated with the target resource is displayed in the editing interface, wherein the target resource is determined based on the first resource identifier.

[0023] The embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the same-screen display of workflows and resource components associated with target resources, and can centrally manage resources based on resource identifiers. As a result, the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the same-screen editing of workflows and target resources and the rapid jump between resources and workflows, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of workflow editing.

[0024] Sample Environment

[0025] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG1 , the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110 .

[0026] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. Application 120 may be any appropriate type of application for interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, workflow-related editing applications. Workflows are used to define and automate a series of steps or tasks in a business process. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices. In some embodiments, a workflow is a visual logic module composed of nodes and connection relationships, which may also be referred to as a node graph. The node graph corresponding to a workflow is a diagram that graphically represents each step / task in the workflow. In some embodiments, the node graph may include multiple nodes, and each node may correspond to a step or a task. Any two nodes in the node graph may or may not have an association relationship. Two nodes that have an association relationship may be connected in the node graph using any appropriate relationship, for example, using a predetermined line element, which may be a straight line, a curve, a broken line, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, nodes in the node graph are connected in series through input and output parameters. By configuring the input parameters of the start node and the output parameters of the end node, all nodes are connected, similar to calling a function and returning the result. It should be noted that between two connected nodes in the node graph, one node can generate an output operation based on its input parameters, and this output parameter can be used as an input parameter for the other node connected in series.

[0027] In the environment 100 of Figure 1 , if the application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120. The interface 150 may be a workflow editing interface, which may be used to edit the workflow.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the provision of services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the target user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0029] The server 130 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. For example, the server 130 may include a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports interface interaction in the electronic device 110.

[0030] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired or wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example Interaction

[0034] The following describes an example interaction process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to Figures 2A to 2E. Figures 2A to 2E show example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1, for example.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2A , the electronic device 110 may present, for example, an interface 200A (a workflow editing interface), where a workflow 210 may include a group of nodes: a node 211 , a node 212 , and a node 213 .

[0036] Taking Figure 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a predetermined operation on node 212 in the group of nodes 211, 212, and 213, and determine the first resource identifier associated with node 212. The predetermined operation can be any appropriate operation, such as a click operation, a sliding operation, and the like. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can display an access control associated with the target node. The electronic device 110 can receive a predetermined operation on the target node based on the selection of the access control (such as by clicking or double-clicking). Taking Figure 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a click operation on the control 214 of node 212 and determine the first resource identifier associated with node 212.

[0037] It should be noted that, for a certain node, the electronic device 110 can set one access control for the node, or can set multiple access controls for the node according to the function. The specific settings can be made according to needs and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] The first resource identifier is identity information used to uniquely identify the target resource and can be any suitable form of identifier that uniquely identifies the target resource. In some embodiments, the first resource identifier can be a name or a string, etc. In other embodiments, the first resource identifier can be a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). In some embodiments, the target resource can be a sub-task corresponding to the target node. In other embodiments, the target resource can also include, but is not limited to: code resources, resources corresponding to custom nodes, resources corresponding to the Application Programming Interface (API), resources corresponding to jobs, resources corresponding to databases, dependency resources, resources corresponding to workflow test cases, resources corresponding to global configurations, resources corresponding to global events, resources corresponding to interfaces, resources of custom types, prompts, etc. APIs are used to bind workflows, and a workflow can be bound to multiple APIs, thereby enabling the platform to provide external representational state transfer (RESTful API) to access workflows. The database can be any suitable type of database, such as a relational dataset (e.g., MySQL), which supports simple relationships between tables, fields, and data. In some embodiments, the resource unit corresponding to the resources manageable by the database is a table. Custom nodes are nodes generated after the input parameters, output parameters, and code logic of the custom node.

[0039] The following describes the first resource identifier.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first resource identifier indicates a team identification and / or a project identification associated with the target resource.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine whether the current user has preset permissions for the target resource based on the team identifier and / or project identifier. The preset permissions can be any appropriate permissions, such as access permissions, modification permissions, management permissions, etc. As an example, the preset permissions can be to allow only users who match the team identifier and / or project identifier to access the target resource. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can determine whether the target team to which the current user belongs and / or the target project for which the current user is responsible matches the team identifier and / or project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier to determine whether the current user has the preset permissions for the target resource.

[0042] As an example, the electronic device 110 may be set to determine that the current user has the preset permission to the target resource when the target team and target project corresponding to the access user match the team identifier and project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier. That is, the electronic device 110 may determine whether the current user has the preset permission to the target resource based on whether the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target team corresponding to the current user, and whether the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target project corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user has the preset permission to access the target resource in response to determining that the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target team corresponding to the current user, and the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target project corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user does not have the preset permission to the target resource in response to determining that the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier does not match the target team corresponding to the current user and / or the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier does not match the target project corresponding to the current user.

[0043] As another example, the electronic device 110 may set the target team corresponding to the access user to match the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier to determine whether the current user has the preset permission for the target resource. That is, the electronic device 110 may determine whether the current user has the preset permission for the target resource based on whether the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target team corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user has the preset permission for the target resource in response to determining that the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target team corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user does not have the preset permission for the target resource in response to determining that the team identifier indicated in the first resource identifier does not match the target team corresponding to the current user.

[0044] As another example, the electronic device 110 may be set to determine that the current user has the preset permission for the target resource when the target project corresponding to the accessing user matches the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier, that is, the electronic device 110 may determine that the current user has the preset permission for the target resource based on whether the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target project corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user has the preset permission for the target resource in response to determining that the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier matches the target project corresponding to the current user. The electronic device 110 may determine that the current user has the preset permission for the target resource in response to determining that the project identifier indicated in the first resource identifier does not match the target project corresponding to the current user.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first resource identifier may also be constructed based on the following information of the target resource: the resource type of the target resource, the sequence number of the target resource, and the version number of the target resource. The resource type may be any appropriate type, such as a code type, a database type, a sub-workflow type, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first resource identifier may correspond to a format of “abcde: / / / team / {team_id} / project / {project_id} / {resource} / {resource_id} / {version}”.

[0047] abcde can be a fixed protocol (scheme) used to specify the access method of resources. Team is the string corresponding to the team. team_id represents the team identifier. Project is the string corresponding to the project. project_id represents the project identifier. Resource represents the resource type of the target resource. resource_id represents the serial number of the target resource, which can also be called the identification information of the target resource. Version represents the version number of the target resource, which can correspond to any appropriate format. As an example, the format corresponding to the version number can be major.minor.patch. In some embodiments, if the version number is not set in the first resource identifier, it can be assumed that the version corresponding to the first resource identifier is the current latest version.

[0048] As an example, the first resource identifier can be "abcde: / / / team / 12345 / project / 1234567890 / flow / 12345678911 / 1.2.3". At this time, the team identifier corresponding to the first resource identifier is "12345", the corresponding project identifier is "1234567890", the resource type of the target resource is "workflow", the serial number of the target resource is "12345678911", and the version number of the target resource is "1.2.3".

[0049] As another example, the first resource identifier can be "abcde: / / / team / 12345 / project / 1234567890 / custom_node / 12345678921 / 1.2.3". At this time, the team identifier corresponding to the first resource identifier is "12345", the corresponding project identifier is "1234567890", the resource type of the target resource is "custom_node", the serial number of the target resource is "12345678921", and the version number of the target resource is "1.2.3".

[0050] The relationship between the target resource and the target node in the workflow can be any appropriate association relationship. For example, if a node in the workflow is used to access a piece of code, then the resource associated with this node can be this piece of code, that is, the resource identifier determined based on the predetermined operation on this node is the resource identifier corresponding to this piece of code. For another example, if a node in the workflow is used to store the data generated by the previous node connected to this node in a database, then the resource associated with this node can be a data resource stored in the database, etc., that is, the resource identifier determined based on the predetermined operation on this node is the resource identifier corresponding to the resource stored in this database, such as the resource identifier of the corresponding target table in the database.

[0051] The electronic device 110 may display a resource component associated with the target resource in the editing interface based on the first resource identifier, where the target resource is determined based on the first resource identifier. The resource component may be any appropriate type of component. For example, it may be an editing component corresponding to the resource, an information viewing component within the resource, and the like, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Taking FIG2A as an example, electronic device 110 may receive a selection of control 214 corresponding to node 212 in workflow 210 and determine resource identifier 215 associated with node 212, where resource identifier 215 is a resource identifier corresponding to resource 220. Electronic device 110 may display resource components associated with resource 220 in an editing interface. In this case, the resource type corresponding to resource 220 is a sub-workflow, and the resource components associated with resource 220 include component 221, component 222, and so on.

[0053] Taking FIG2B as an example, electronic device 110 may receive a selection of control 232 corresponding to node 231 in workflow 230 and determine resource identifier 233 associated with node 231. Based on resource identifier 233, electronic device 110 may display resource components associated with resource 240 in an editing interface. In this case, the resource type corresponding to resource 240 is a resource corresponding to a database, and the resource components associated with resource 240 include component 241, component 242, and so on.

[0054] Taking FIG2C as an example, electronic device 110 may receive a selection of control 252 corresponding to node 251 in workflow 250 and determine resource identifier 253 associated with node 251. Based on resource identifier 253, electronic device 110 may display resource components associated with resource 260 in the editing interface. In this case, the resource type corresponding to resource 260 is code resource.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display the workflow in a first area of ​​the editing interface and display the resource components in a second area of ​​the editing interface. Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the electronic device 110 may display the workflow 210 in area 270 of the interface 200A and display the resource components of the resource 220 in area 271.

[0056] Taking FIG2D as an example, the electronic device 110 may also present multiple elements in the interface 200D. The elements may be any appropriate elements, such as workflow elements, toolbox elements, canvas elements, elements corresponding to selection controls, positioning links, etc. In response to selection of a target element in the editing interface, the electronic device 110 may determine a second resource identifier corresponding to the target element.

[0057] Taking FIG. 2D as an example, interface 200D may present selection controls corresponding to the various sub-workflows in workflow 260, specifically selection controls 261, 262, and 263, wherein selection control 261 is associated with sub-workflow 264, selection control 262 is associated with sub-workflow 265, and selection control 263 is associated with sub-workflow 266. In response to a selection of selection control 262 in interface 200D (i.e., the target element is selection control 262), electronic device 110 may determine a second resource identifier corresponding to selection control 262. This second resource identifier is information representing the unique identity of sub-workflow 265, and may specifically be a name or string that uniquely identifies sub-workflow 265, or may be a URI.

[0058] Taking FIG2E as an example, interface 200E may present multiple positioning links (such as link 290 and link 291) associated with workflow 270. This positioning link may be used to indicate the link of the sub-process where an error or warning occurs. In response to selecting link 290 in interface 200E (i.e., the target element is link 290), electronic device 110 may determine a second resource identifier corresponding to link 290. This link 290 is used to represent the sub-process in workflow 270 that caused the error or warning.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second resource identifier may correspond to a format of “abcde: / / / team / {team_id} / project / {project_id} / {resource} / {resource_id} / {version}?{query}”.

[0060] In some embodiments, abcde can be a fixed scheme used to specify the access method of the resource. Team is a string corresponding to the team. team_id represents the team identifier. Project is a string corresponding to the project. project_id represents the project identifier. Resource represents the resource type of the resource. resource_id represents the serial number of the resource. Version represents the version number of the resource, which can correspond to any appropriate format. As an example, the format corresponding to the version number can be major.minor.patch. In some embodiments, if the version number is not set in the second resource identifier, it can be assumed that the version corresponding to the second resource identifier is the latest version. query is used to represent the target control corresponding to the resource. The target control can be any appropriate control, such as but not limited to at least one of the following: a predetermined field of the form corresponding to the resource, an expression resource corresponding to the predetermined field of the form corresponding to the resource, a predetermined field of the input parameter corresponding to the resource, a predetermined field of the output parameter corresponding to the resource, a code corresponding to the resource, and a description corresponding to the resource.

[0061] As an example, the second resource identifier may be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / data / name", and the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / data / name", which is used to locate the name field of the form under Node.

[0062] As another example, the second resource identifier can be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / data / name&is_expression=true", in which case the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / data / name&is_expression=true", which is used to locate the expression resource corresponding to the name field of the form under Node.

[0063] As an example, the second resource identifier may be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / inputs / name", where the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / inputs / name", which is used to locate the name field of the input parameter (inputs) under the Node.

[0064] As an example, the second resource identifier may be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / outputs / name", where the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / outputs / name", which is used to locate the name field of the output parameter (outputs) under the Node.

[0065] As an example, the second resource identifier may be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / script", and the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / outputs / name", which is used to locate the code (script) field under Node.

[0066] As an example, the second resource identifier may be "abcde: / / / team / :teamId / project / :projectId / flow / :flowId?anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / info / titl e", and the query is "anchor= / node / :nodeId / definition / outputs / name", which is used to locate the description (information, info) field under Node.

[0067] Taking FIG. 2D as an example, after determining the second resource identifier, the electronic device 110 may adjust the display style of the sub-workflow 265 (target control) corresponding to the second resource identifier in the interface 200D.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may highlight the target control corresponding to the second resource identifier in the editing interface.

[0069] In other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may move the target control corresponding to the second resource identifier to a target position in the editing interface, where the target position may be any appropriate position, such as a center position, an upper right position, etc. The electronic device may move the target control to the target position in the editing interface in any appropriate manner, such as a scrolling manner, a sliding manner, etc., which will not be described in detail herein.

[0070] In other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may highlight the target control corresponding to the second resource identifier in the editing interface, and move the target control corresponding to the second resource identifier to a target position in the editing interface.

[0071] The embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the same-screen display of workflows and resource components associated with target resources, and can centrally manage resources based on resource identifiers. As a result, the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the same-screen editing of workflows and target resources and the rapid jump between resources and workflows, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of workflow editing.

[0073] FIG3 shows a flowchart of a process 300 for editing a workflow according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 300 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 300 is described below with reference to FIG1.

[0074] In block 310 , the electronic device 110 displays an editing interface of a workflow, where the workflow includes a set of nodes.
