UI-Driven Workflow

A UI-Driven Workflow is a technology-enhanced workflow that organizes task sequences based on user interface interactions.

• Context:
  • It can (typically) coordinate User Interface Flow through interface elements and user actions.
  • It can (typically) manage Task Sequence through ui components and interface states.
  • It can (typically) enforce Process Step through ui validations and input constraints.
  • It can (typically) guide User Journey through interface navigation and visual feedback.
  • It can (typically) capture User Input through form elements and input controls.
  • ...
  • It can (often) provide Data Validation through input checks and error messages.
  • It can (often) implement Progress Tracking through status indicators and completion markers.
  • It can (often) support User Assistance through tooltips and help content.
  • It can (often) enable Process Branching through conditional uis and dynamic forms.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Form Workflow to being a Complex Multi-Step Wizard, depending on its process complexity.
  • It can range from being a Linear UI Flow to being an Adaptive UI Flow, depending on its interaction patterns.
  • It can range from being a Basic Input Collection to being an Advanced Process Orchestration, depending on its workflow scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Backend System for data processing.
  • It can connect to Validation Service for input verification.
  • It can support State Management for workflow progression.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Business Process Workflows, such as:
    • Form-Based Workflows, such as:
      • Employee Onboarding Wizard for personnel processing.
      • Customer Registration Flow for account creation.
    • Document Processing Workflows, such as:
      • Contract Approval Process for legal document handling.
      • Invoice Processing Flow for financial document management.
  • Service Delivery Workflows, such as:
    • Customer Service Workflows, such as:
      • Support Ticket Creation for issue reporting.
      • Service Request Wizard for service scheduling.
    • Order Processing Workflows, such as:
      • Shopping Cart Checkout for purchase completion.
      • Order Customization Flow for product configuration.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Batch Processing Workflow, which lacks direct user interaction.
  • System-Triggered Workflow, which operates based on automated triggers rather than ui actions.
  • API-Driven Workflow, which relies on programmatic interfaces instead of user interfaces.
