Visual Workflow Building Method

A Visual Workflow Building Method is a workflow construction method that can enable visual workflow building tasks through visual workflow interfaces.

• AKA: Graphical Workflow Design Method, Visual Process Building Approach.
• Context:
  • It can typically represent Visual Workflow Logic using visual workflow elements.
  • It can typically connect Visual Workflow Components through visual workflow connectors.
  • It can typically display Visual Workflow States via visual workflow indicators.
  • It can typically validate Visual Workflow Structures with visual workflow rules.
  • It can typically execute Visual Workflow Sequences following visual workflow paths.
  • ...
  • It can often provide Visual Workflow Templates for visual workflow patterns.
  • It can often support Visual Workflow Debugging through visual workflow traces.
  • It can often enable Visual Workflow Collaboration via visual workflow sharing.
  • It can often facilitate Visual Workflow Documentation with visual workflow annotations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Visual Workflow Building Method to being a Advanced Visual Workflow Building Method, depending on its visual workflow complexity support.
  • It can range from being a Static Visual Workflow Building Method to being a Dynamic Visual Workflow Building Method, depending on its visual workflow runtime flexibility.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Visual Workflow Building Method to being a General-Purpose Visual Workflow Building Method, depending on its visual workflow application scope.
  • ...
  • It can implement Visual Workflow Standards like visual workflow BPMN notation.
  • It can utilize Visual Workflow Engines for visual workflow execution.
  • It can leverage Visual Workflow Libraries for visual workflow components.
  • It can employ Visual Workflow Tools for visual workflow design.
  • It can adopt Visual Workflow Best Practices for visual workflow usability.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Node-Based Visual Workflow Building Methods, such as:
    • Flow-Chart Visual Workflow Building Method using visual workflow box-and-arrows.
    • State Machine Visual Workflow Building Method with visual workflow state transitions.
    • Pipeline Visual Workflow Building Method showing visual workflow stages.
  • Interactive Visual Workflow Building Methods, such as:
    • Drag-and-Drop Workflow Building enabling visual workflow direct manipulation.
    • Canvas-Based Visual Workflow Building Method on visual workflow drawing surfaces.
    • Form-Based Visual Workflow Building Method through visual workflow configuration panels.
  • Specialized Visual Workflow Building Methods, such as:
    • Business Process Visual Workflow Building Method for visual workflow business rules.
    • Data Pipeline Visual Workflow Building Method handling visual workflow data flows.
    • Automation Visual Workflow Building Method creating visual workflow trigger sequences.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Code-Based Workflow Building Method, which requires visual workflow programming syntax.
  • Configuration File Workflow Method, which uses visual workflow text definitions.
  • Command-Line Workflow Method, which lacks visual workflow graphical representation.
