Abstract
In a method for configuring documents for circulation, a document template and a plurality of field templates are created. The document template and the field templates are integrated to obtain an integrated document template. A workflow template is generated according to the integrated document template. A document entity is generated according to the integrated document template in response to a first user operation. The document entity is operated by a second user operation. A workflow entity derives from to the workflow template, the workflow entity including a plurality of node entities, and the node entities include a start node entity and an end node entity. The document entity is transferred from the start node entity to the end node entity according to the workflow entity. The method meets the requirements for general circulation of documents generated by a business with ever-increasing complexity.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a method for document configuration and circulation that creates a document template and a plurality of field templates, and integrates the document template and the plurality of field templates to obtain an integrated document template. A workflow template is generated according to the integrated document template, and a document entity is generated according to the integrated document template in response to a first user operation.
A workflow entity of the document entity is generated according to the workflow template, where the workflow entity includes a plurality of node entities comprising a start node entity and an end node entity. The document entity is transferred from the start node entity to the end node entity according to the workflow entity.
The document configuration and circulation are further supported by generating a workflow template as a workflow matrix with node templates, auditors, and determination and jump actions, including start/end nodes. Access authority and warning behavior are used when generating the document entity in response to the first user operation.
During the second user operation, contents are filled, verified, and then either a refill notification is performed on verification failure or verified contents are stored on verification success.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims define a method and corresponding implementations for document configuration and circulation by combining a document template, multiple field templates, and an integrated document template into a workflow template that drives a workflow entity with start and end node entities to transfer a document entity according to user operations. Across the independent claims, the core inventive features cover three inventive features.
Template integration into an integrated document template
creating a document template; creating a plurality of field templates; integrating the document template and the plurality of field templates to obtain an integrated document template.
Workflow template generation and document-entity creation for user operations
generating a workflow template according to the integrated document template; generating a document entity according to the integrated document template in response to a first user operation.
Workflow entity with start and end node entities and document transfer
generating a workflow entity of the document entity according to the workflow template, the workflow entity comprising a plurality of node entities, and the plurality of node entities comprising a start node entity and an end node entity; and transferring the document entity from the start node entity to the end node entity according to the workflow entity.
Together, the independent claim set covers a document configuration and circulation framework in which an integrated document template derived from a document template and multiple field templates is used to generate a workflow template. A document entity generated in response to a first user operation is operated in response to a second user operation, and the document entity is transferred from a start node entity to an end node entity according to a workflow entity generated from the workflow template.
