Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to creating routing connections between graphical elements in a process flow. A computer system may provide process flow information that is executable by a client system to display a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a process diagram flow. The client system may be able to output, via the GUI, a graphical representation of the process flow. The graphical representation may include graphical elements indicative of process steps and graphical connections between the graphical elements. Via the GUI on the client system, a user may request a graphical connection going from a first graphical element to a second graphical element. The computer system may update the process diagram with the graphical connection where the graphical connection is routed based on a predetermined set of connection rules for the process diagram.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for executing process flows. A graphical representation of a flow is provided for presentation via a display device, where the flow includes a plurality of elements, each of the elements corresponding to a set of computer-readable instructions. A set of metrics associated with the flow is generated or updated, where the set of metrics indicates, for each of a plurality of paths of the flow, one or more metrics collected across a plurality of users of the database system that accessed the flow, each of the paths of the flow corresponding to a subset of the plurality of elements of the flow. An indication of the set of metrics associated with the flow is provided, for presentation via the display device, in relation to one or more elements of the flow such that at least a first portion of the set of metrics is provided for presentation in close proximity to a visual representation of a first one of the elements of the flow and a second portion of the set of metrics is provided for presentation in close proximity to a visual representation of a second one of the elements of the flow. A request to modify the flow is processed and the graphical representation of the flow is modified responsive to processing the request to modify the flow. In addition, a modified flow corresponding to the modified graphical representation can be stored.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for using metrics in association with process flows. For instance, a set of metrics associated with a flow can be generated or updated based, at least in part, on flow performance data. Provided for presentation via a display device and within a flow builder application is an indication of the set of metrics associated with the flow in relation to one or more elements of the flow. At least a portion of the set of metrics is provided for presentation in close proximity to a visual representation of an element of the flow. A request to modify the flow can be received via the flow builder application.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations associated with a flow builder application including a graphical representation of a flow. Performance data associated with the flow can be obtained. A set of metrics associated with the flow can be generated or updated based, at least in part, on the performance data. The set of metrics can include one or more metrics collected across one or more flow runs. At least a portion of the set of metrics can be provided for presentation within the flow builder application in relation to one or more elements of the flow. The portion of the set of metrics can indicate a performance condition including a duration of the one or more elements of the flow. A request to edit the flow based on the performance condition can be processed, and the graphical representation of the flow can be modified.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for generating a layout representing a process flow. Responsive to a first request from a client device to add an instance of a loop element type to a layout represented in a graphical user interface (GUI), the layout is updated such that the layout includes a first loop element defined by a loop element symbol and a loop connector path connected to the loop symbol. Responsive to a second request to add an instance of a second element type to the first loop element, calculating a set of rendering parameters for at least a portion of the layout including the first loop element based, at least in part, on a set of spacing rules and a set of dimensions associated with the second element type. The portion of the layout is updated using the set of rendering parameters such that an updated layout is generated, where the updated layout includes an expanded first loop element defined by the loop symbol and an expanded loop connector path on which a second element of the second element type is positioned, where the expanded loop connector path is connected to the loop symbol. The updated layout may then be provided to the client device.
