Process Data

Defining data for a new or re-engineered business process is an integral part of design process. The data is a set of typed attributes that a running process will operate on. These attributes, or fields, may change at run time by either human or automated steps.

FlowRunner natively supports the XML data. Process data is defined from within the process designer as a series of data sets with one or more fields.

Supported fields types

Numeric	xsd:integer
String	xsd:string
Double	xsd:double

Form Editing

FlowRunner Server supports several e-form technologies. For more information click here.

FlowRunner Designer natively supports editing of HTML forms. The builtin HTML editor is a powerful WYSIWYG component that binds form elements to corresponding data fields as they get dropped onto HTML form background.

In addition to the usual HTML features such as editing of styles and colors, the environment also supports client side validation. HTML input elements can be configured to require user input using predefined or custom masks.

In some cases user's input must be validated against external data or proprietary business rules. FlowRunner also supports this use case via a custom form processor. Click here to jump to the architecture section that describes this functionality.

HTML Text editing
A visually designed form can also be modified as HTML text in a powerful color-coding editor. View, design, edit round tripping is fully supported.

Toolbox

A toolbox is a placeholder for commonly used HTML fragments that may be reused across procedures and forms. Some examples of toolbox items are logos, headers and footers, formatted text. This feature is configurable by a simple HTML file .
