Using the Process Flow Compiler

Process flows allow an organization to configure business functionality within Aptify without the use of custom code. The system interprets each process flow at run time, contacting the database for any required information in order to process the logic. In most cases, simpler process flows that consist of only a few steps will run efficiently using interpreted mode. However, operation in interpreted mode may be less efficient for more complex process flows that consist of numerous process steps or include more complex rule logic or iterative processing.

One method to improve the efficiency of process flows, especially the more complex flows or those that are run often within the system, is to make use of the process flow compiler. Compiling a process flow automatically generates a VB.NET assembly and class, which incorporate all logic included within the process flow into code.
