  • Publication number: 20240119373
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to computing devices, systems, and methods for a new task-engine system that connects to a variety of task-interaction providers, enabling a user to use any one of multiple task-interaction providers to create and complete tasks within a workflow. That is, the connection to a variety of task-interaction providers allows a user to interact with the workflow through any of the task-interaction providers and create and/or complete any number of tasks in the workflow. The task-engine system may also update the creation and/or completion of a workflow task in all other task-interaction providers, such that all users may be aware of, or notified of, the current state of the workflow through any of the task-interaction providers.

  • Patent number: 11914466
    Abstract: This disclosure pertains to systems and methods that allow users to specifically detect and correct errors within workflows quickly, efficiently, and with minimal repercussions. Once the error is corrected, users have the option to continue the workflow from the point of failure or from a point prior to the point of failure, while also having the option to bypass completed actions and/or other actions in a workflow. The improved communication technology comprises functionality that pauses relevant workflows or processes as soon as the error is detected and while it is corrected. The disclosure also improves communication technology between the networks and servers of separate parties relevant and/or dependent on successful execution of other workflows or processes; allowing for effective understanding, implementation, and engagement of business processes across organizational boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20230077200
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a design tool with built-in intelligence that automatically senses the location of one or more placeholders for selectable actions when designing a form or workflow. The design tool intuitively determines which placeholder should logically be used next; visually emphasizes, when an action is selected, the location and designation of the placeholder predicted to be used next; visually emphasizes alternative placeholders relevant to the position of the selected action by detecting minor changes in the position of the selected action; and automatically positions the selected action into the predicted or selected placeholder when the action is released.

  • Publication number: 20230046344
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for automatically converting a static electronic file format and its various elements into a dynamic digital form with executable elements that can be customized before being used. The resulting digital form is compatible with digital workflows and processes. The disclosed systems, methods, and devices go beyond simply extracting data from the original electronic file format and instead enable users to, without using code, convert the source form into a dynamic, malleable digital form while still retaining the source form's original purpose and functionality.

  • Patent number: 11087259
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for a synergetic, multi-interface workflow designer: a visual tool that enables the design, building, and use of high-level processes and standard configuration workflows among multiple users with varying technical capabilities on multiple systems. For example, it enables a line of business user to design and create a high-level process on a first designer interface. The process and its data are received by a second designer interface, which translates the process and data into a standard configuration workflow. A workflow designer may access the second designer interface to create, refine, and finalize the standard configuration workflow based on the data from the first designer interface.
