No code workflow analysis based on Office365-basic requirement analysis!
Customer requirement analysis:
Jia Hao information is an IT entrepreneurial company. Due to the company's initial demands for recruiting more employees, the company recently purchased Office 365. Due to the tedious recruitment work, HR personnel need to do a lot of repetitive work. The HR supervisor proposes to develop a small recruitment system to do a lot of repetitive work in HR. However, programmers are not yet in place, and the task of solving this problem falls on the Office Expert Luo. Luo is an IT expert who has certain technical skills in code-free development and O & M based on Sharepoint. He analyzed the HR requirements for the system and thought that using Sharepoint Online of Office 365 to implement workflow and email push Based on code-free implementation would completely complete application development without code.
Currently, Office365 E1 includes the Sharepoint Online function. Sharepoint Online provides the InfoPath Service. You can use the InfoPath Designer in Office 2013 Professional Plus provided by O365 to design a complete form, the SharepointDesigner is used to plan related processes to drive corresponding actions to complete the entire code-less development process.
2. Tool Requirement Analysis
We can see that the basic page of our form is the overall page design through InfoPath Designer, and basic data query and extraction. Form data mainly comes from our Sharepoint list. Therefore, we need to establish two sources of Custom Data lists. One is the employee list for our recruitment system to extract the list from the interviewer, the other is the job list for the interview. The two lists will be updated by our HR in real time for the real-time Extraction and update of subsequent interviews.
The Sharepoint Online function of the Office 365 platform currently includes all functions of the local Sharepoint. if you purchase the Sharepoint Online function of Office 365, you do not need to perform O & M or invest in the corresponding server resources. For many users, A large portion of O & M costs are reduced. And basically provides all the functions of the full version.
After the form is published to Infopath, We need to execute the corresponding Workflow to drive our entire business process forward. SharepointOnline itself provides the standard Workflow function. Currently, Sharepointonline (2013) the version of the workflow can provide more powerful workflow functions to provide corresponding process-driven methods.
Based on the Sharepoint process-driven approach, we can use the form service to drive two different ways, working through Sharepoint and driving through forms.
It is relatively complicated to start a workflow through Sharepoint. You need to know the execution sequence of each workflow, including process suspension and process continuation, which is relatively difficult. It is relatively difficult to execute operations.
The process is driven by the form itself. We need to combine the add-on of the form definition with the Sharepoint Designer to drive the process of the form itself.
