Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for workflow management to automate the creation of event-task entries directly from flowcharts. The method and system of the present invention includes an entry described as MFIN. A MFIN is defined as a flowchart of a process that can be triggered by one or more events. When flowcharts are finalized, they are “published”, in which the system automatically parses the flowcharts, and populates a “published flowcharts table” with information regarding the tasks required to process each event, together with logical decisions, and timers (for tickler notifications) to be started. Instances of the MFINs are executed upon the occurrence of one or more events by looking up the entry in the “published flowcharts table” for that event, and triggering the specified tasks for the specified users.
