The experience comprises a plurality of sequential workflows, which each comprise sequential activities specific to a user. Each activity corresponds to a screen for interfacing with a corresponding user on a GUI. The platform is operable to configure screen elements within an activity screen template in response to administrator input representing interaction of the administrator with the template screen elements. The platform includes a data structure for each activity. The data structure specifies configured screen elements and user-related data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A screen-based workflow platform for enabling an administrator to configure an experience, wherein

the one or more memories storing at least one instruction for positioning on the screen the selected one or more activity templates in functional relationship with at least one other activity template in response to administrator input. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The platform of claim 9, wherein types of the activity template options relate to at least user authentication, receiving data entry, data processing, order entry, or order fulfillment. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The platform of claim 9, wherein the plurality of activity template options includes a limited set of activity template options provided by a provider of the platform. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The platform of claim 1, the data structure further specifying one or more conditions for determining a next activity to perform based at least in part upon one of the one or more conditions being satisfied. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The platform of claim 1, at least one of the one or more memories storing at least one instruction for configuring at least one condition to control transition from a first activity to a second activity within a workflow. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The platform of claim 14, wherein configuring the at least one condition is based at least in part upon selection of the at least one condition from a plurality of condition options displayed on a GUI. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The platform of claim 15, the data structure further specifying the at least one configured condition. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The platform of claim 13, wherein the one or more conditions
