摘要:
A workflow management system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows a user to create and/or edit workflow logic without requiring the re-writing and recompiling of the application software, and without interrupting the operability of the application software at any time. The GUI tool allows the user to simultaneously view and create and/or edit the corresponding application screen where the workflow logic is applied in the application software, while the user creates and/or edits the workflow logic. The user creates and/or edits the workflow logic by selectively combining the available parameters that are provided in spoken language syntax by a context sensitive menu. The workflow logic statements are made available for the application software to call at the appropriate times. The GUI tool works in conjunction with a dynamically configurable database.

A method and system for managing print job through a process carried out by an online web-store server. The process includes the steps of receiving a print job order by a web-store server, and checking a remote cache via a network to determine whether a PDF file is stored therein. If the matching PDF file does not exist, then the server generates a new PDF file containing the sequence of articles and transmits the new PDF file to the print server, and saves the new PDF file in the remote cache. If the matching PDF exists, then the stored PDF is retrieved from the remote cache, and the print server uses the retrieved PDF file to print the print job without the web-store server creating the new PDF file or transmitting the new PDF file to the print server.

摘要:
A method and system for managing print job through a process that includes the steps of receiving a print job order for printing a multiplicity of articles, processing the multiplicity of articles to create an identification (ID) for each article, and determining whether an article ID stored in a database matches any of the new IDs of the multiplicity articles. If a matching article ID does not exist, then keeping the article and storing the ID of the kept article in the database. If a matching article ID exists, then removing the article from the print job, and repeating the above steps until all of the multiplicity of articles are processed accordingly. When printing the job, only the remaining articles are printed.
