Abstract
Architectures and techniques are presented that provide a dynamic, action-driven visual task flow customization to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. A task element, expressing a task workflow can be modeled as a record of an order data model of the development environment. The task workflow can be executing according to a flow state management procedure, e.g., to manage lifecycle. In response to the flow state management procedure, the record can be updated according to a current state of the task element. These task elements can be correlated to an action or other operation of a flow designer module of the SaaS platform, which can leverage native automation.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- presenting, within a development environment of a software-as-a-service platform, a task element, expressing a task workflow, that is modeled as a record of an order data model of the development environment;
- executing the task workflow according to a flow state management procedure and, in response to the executing, updating the record according to a current state of the task element;
- and
- correlating the task element to an operation of a flow designer module of the development environment.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- within a development environment of a software-as-a-service platform, presenting, on a visual task board of the development environment, a task element, expressing a task workflow, wherein the task element is modeled as a record in an order data model of the development environment;
- in response to a flow state management procedure that executes the task workflow, determining a current state of that task element;
- updating the record according to the current state determined by the flow state management procedure;
- and
- correlating the task element to an operation of a flow designer module of the development environment.
A method, comprising:
- within a development environment of a software-as-a-service platform, presenting, by a device comprising a processor, a task element, expressing a task workflow, that is modeled as a record of an order data model of the development environment;
- executing, by the device, the task workflow in a flow state management procedure and, in response, updating the record according to a current state of that task element;
- and
- constructing, by the device, a relationship between the task element and an operation of a flow designer module of the development environment.
