What problem does it solve?

Developing business approval workflows in Forge Admin requires coordinating business table design, Flowable process binding, form integration, status state management, and database seed scripts, which is error-prone and time-consuming without standardized patterns. This Skill eliminates that friction by providing a complete, reference-backed guide for end-to-end workflow implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dual workflow modes: Supports both code-first custom business workflows (for complex logic, custom tables, and non-trivial status repair) and low-code dynamic CRUD workflows (for standard business objects without custom service logic).
• Reference implementation: Uses the sample purchase order approval flow as a canonical example, with full file maps, status transition rules, and BPMN configuration patterns.
• End-to-end guidance: Covers every step from database migration and backend service implementation to BPMN model setup, App Center configuration, and end-to-end validation.
• Use case: Ideal for building leave approval, purchase order review, expense reimbursement, or any other business approval flow in Forge Admin that requires integration with Flowable.

Quick Start

Use this skill to implement a new purchase order approval workflow for your Forge instance, following the code-first pattern with custom business tables and Flowable process binding.
