In this embodiment, BPM (business process modeling) is preferably performed through BPMN (business process modeling language), and the responsibility range of the workflow engine is to coordinate, execute, and record the execution process and result of the process, considering that the workflow engine can be used to conveniently define and develop the process, if the business development needs to be performed, the business logic is often required to be embedded into the listener of the workflow execution, and at this time, a developer is required to associate the process definition with the form in a hard coding manner, which results in higher coupling degree between the process and the business application program and higher difficulty in upgrading and maintenance, and also violates the concept of business independence and loose coupling between the modules, therefore, by separating the workflow engine and the dynamic form, the two technologies are independent from each other, and can also be upgraded independently without affecting the other technology, meanwhile, each technology is more convenient to upgrade and maintain, so that the work coordination between the process engine and the form is optimized.

and S33, creating a process instance associated with the form information through the process engine.

Further, in the above embodiment, the sequentially updating the corresponding forms in the form queue associated with the process instance specifically includes:

reading each form associated with each node of the process instance in turn;

and updating each form associated with each node of the process instance based on the information of the handler corresponding to each node.

s41, reading custom process instance information;

s42, reading a handler corresponding to the current node;

s43, reading a form associated with the current node;

s44, filling in the form and saving the information;
