SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN EXTENSIBLE WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT

摘要

A workflow management system provides a GUI Configurability tool that allows an end user to configure the system's workflow screens, workflow logic and data fields without the need to rewrite any programs. The system allows each workflow screen to represent and assist each individual task within a business process that may be defined and illustrated by a flowchart. The workflow screens work in conjunction with workflow logic to create an accurate one-to-one mapping of the individual tasks and decision logic within a business process flowchart. The system provides published interfaces that allow the use of third party hardware and software within workflows. The system also provides published interfaces to integrate extensible code that perform custom functions within the system.
