Automated workflow generation

摘要

A computer-implemented method for generating a workflow includes receiving via an interactive user interface operator input that defines a first document that is to be filled in by a user and comprises a decision component. A first state of the workflow corresponding to the first document and a transition associated with actuation of the decision component are automatically defined. A second document that is to be presented upon user selection of the decision component in the first document is generated, and a second state of the workflow that corresponds to the second document and is linked to the first state by the transition is generated. In response to the first and second documents and the decision component, software code that corresponds to the workflow is produced for use in a workflow engine.
