System assets serve as a centralized hub for managing and organizing various types of media files outside an application, used on themes, including images, GIFs, and more.

System assets

The first step of defining your business process in the FlowX.AI Designer is adding a new process definition for it.

Creating a new process definition

Once you create a new process definition, you can start configuring it by adding new nodes.

Adding a new node

We use actions to add business decisions to the flow or link the process to custom integrations and plugins.

Adding an action to a node

To add business decisions in the flow and use them to pick between a flow branch or another, we can use exclusive gateways.

Handling decisions in the flow

Adding more flow branches

Creating a user interface

Back in steps is a functionality that allows you to go back in a business process redo a series of previous actions in the process.

Moving a token backwards in a process

To export process definitions versions and move them between different environments, you can use the export version/ import process feature.

Exporting / importing a process definition version

Entering the realm of FlowxX unlocks a spectrum of possibilities for elevating processes and workflows. From automation to data-driven decision-making, several straightforward approaches pave the way for leveraging this platform efficiently. Let's delve into the ways to kickstart a process.

Initiating processes

Overview of Global and Application Resources, including their usage, dependencies, promotion, and configuration within the platform.

Resources

Applications group all resources and dependencies needed to implement an use case.

Applications

Libraries are specialized projects that serve as reusable containers for resources that can be shared across multiple applications.

Libraries

The Build feature allows for the creation of deployable packages of an application, encapsulating all its resources into a single unit.

Builds

The Active policy defines the strategy for selecting which build version of an application is active in the runtime environment.

Active policy

The Configuration parameters overrides feature allows you to set environment-specific values for certain parameters within an application.

Configuration parameters overrides

The Process Designer workspace is tailored for creating and editing business processes, featuring a menu with all the essential elements needed to design a process.

Process Designer

The core of the platform is the process definition, which is the blueprint of the business process made up of nodes that are linked by sequences.

Process definition

In the Data Model, you can add new key-pair values, which enables you to use shortcuts when adding new keys using the UI Designer, without having to switch back and forth between menus.

Data model

Learn how to configure, start, and execute subprocesses efficiently within your process flow.

Subprocess management

With versioning, you can easily track your process definition's evolution.

Versioning

Navigation areas play a pivotal role in user interface design. They enhance the user experience by providing a structured, organized, and efficient way for users to interact with and explore various features and solutions.

Navigation areas

A Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) node is a visual representation of a point in your process. Nodes are added at specific process points to denote the entrance or transition of a record within the process.

BPMN nodes

Let's go through all the options for configuring start and end nodes for a process definition.

Start/end nodes

Send message task and Receive message task nodes are used to handle the interaction between a running process and external systems. This is done using Kafka.

Send message/receive message tasks

A task node refers to a task that utilizes various services, such as Web services, automated applications, or other similar services, to accomplish a particular task.

Task node

This node represents an interaction with the user. It is used to display a piece of UI (defined in the UI Designer or a custom Angular component. You can also define actions available for the users to interact with the process.

User task node

In the world of process flows, decisions play a crucial role, and that's where the Exclusive Gateway comes into play. This powerful tool enables you to create conditional pathways with ease.

Exclusive gateway

When you have multiple operations that can be executed concurrently, the Parallel Gateway becomes a valuable tool. This type of node creates a parallel section within the process, particularly useful for tasks that can run independently without waiting for each other. It's essential to close each parallel section with another Parallel Gateway node.

Parallel gateway

Error Events expand the capabilities of process modeling and error handling within BPMN processing. These Error Event nodes enhance the BPMN standard and offer improved control over error management.

Error events

The activity that a node has to handle is defined using an action. These can have various types, they can be used to specify the communication details for plugins or integrations.

Node actions

Send data to user interface action is based on Server-Sent Events (SSE), a web technology that enables servers to push real-time updates or events to clients over a single, long-lived HTTP connection. It provides a unidirectional communication channel from the server to the client, allowing the server to send updates to the client without the need for the client to continuously make requests.

Send data to user interface

An Upload File action is an action type that allows you to upload a file to a service available on Kafka.

Upload file action

A Start subprocess action is an action that allows you to start a subprocess from another (parent) process.

Start subprocess action

It is a type of action that allows you to send data from a subprocess to a parent process.

Append params to parent process

The FlowX Designer offers various options to configure the Kafka Send Action through the Actions tab at the node level.

Kafka send action

The Start Integration Workflow action initiates a configured workflow to enable data processing, transformation, or other tasks across connected systems.

Start integration workflow action

The FlowX platform offers a variety of ready-to-use UI components that can be used to create rich web interfaces. These include common form elements like input fields, dynamic dropdown menus, checkboxes, radio and switch buttons, as well as other UI elements like image, text, anchor links, etc. The properties of each component can be customized further using the details tab, and design flexibility is achieved by adding styles or CSS classes to the pre-defined components. The UI templates are built in a hierarchical structure, with a root component at the top.

UI Designer

There are two types of buttons available, each with a different purpose.

Buttons

The File Preview UI element is a user interface component that enables users to preview the contents of files quickly and easily without fully opening them. It can save time and enhance productivity, providing a glimpse of what's inside a file without having to launch it entirely.

File preview

The Table component is a versatile UI element allowing structured data display with customizable columns, pagination, filtering, and styling options.

Table

Image UI elements are graphical components of a user interface that display a static or dynamic visual representation of an object, concept, or content.

Image

The indicators (Message UI elements) allow you to display different types of messages.

Indicators

Typography is an important aspect of design that greatly influences how users perceive and interact with your content. In this section, we'll explore how to effectively utilize two essential UI elements, "Text" and "Link."

Typography

Multiple UI elements can be linked to a specific action via a UI action. If the action is just a method to interact with the process, the UI Action adds information about how that UI should react. For example, should a loader appear after executing the action, should a modal be dismissed, or if some default data should be sent back to the process.

UI actions

Validators are an essential part of building robust and reliable applications. They ensure that the data entered by the user is accurate, complete, and consistent. In Angular applications, validators provide a set of pre-defined validation rules that can be used to validate various form inputs such as text fields, number fields, email fields, date fields, and more.

Validators

In modern application development, the ability to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces is essential for delivering personalized and responsive experiences to users. Dynamic values and computed values are powerful features that enable developers to achieve this level of flexibility and interactivity.

Dynamic & computed values

FlowX localization and internationalization adapt applications to different languages, regions, and formats, enhancing the user experience with dynamic date, number and currency formatting.

Localization and internationalization

Layout settings are available for all components that can group other types of elements (for example, Containers or Cards).

Layout configuration

Token is the concept that describes the current position in the process flow. When you start the process you have a graph of nodes and based on the configuration you will go from one to another based on the defined sequence (connection between nodes).

Token

Scripts are used to define and run actions but also properties inside nodes. For now, the following script languages are supported.

Supported scripts

The engine is the core of the platform, it is the service that runs instances of the process definitions, generates UI, communicates with the frontend and also with custom integrations and plugins. It keeps track of all currently running process instances and makes sure the process flows run correctly.
