Systems, methods and user interfaces for document workflow construction

TL;DR: In this article, context sensitive drag-and-drop systems, methods and user interfaces are provided in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) computing environment, where Icons representing various tasks may be interactively drag and dropped to an adjoining graphically-based workspace in a context-based task-drop location to simply and intuitively construct a graphically based workflow solution.

Abstract: Context sensitive drag-and-drop systems, methods and user interfaces are provided in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) computing environment. Icons representing various tasks may be interactively drag-and-dropped to an adjoining graphically-based workspace in a context-based task-drop location to simply and intuitively construct a graphically-based workflow solution. A collapsible error handling failure branch may be constructed concurrently with the main branch of the workflow process. A loopback path to a higher branch may optionally be constructed for the failure branch. The workflow solution may be applied in a document printing environment for document production, a document copying environment, or an accounting environment, for example, for clear and efficient generation of workflows.
