Application ID: 14478760

Base Claim:
1. A method performed by a visual workflow-management server computing device (“workflow device”) of a database system in a multi-tenant environment having tenants including organizations, the workflow device comprising a hardware processing device coupled to a memory device, wherein the workflow device further comprises a visual workflow mechanism having a visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, the hardware processing device to facilitate the method comprising: receiving, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, a query to perform a collection of data relating to a tenant including an organization, wherein the query represents creating a new business process relating to workings of the organization; collecting, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, the data from one or more accounts relating to the organization; assigning, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, one or more tasks to the collected data; performing, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, the one or more tasks; dynamically generating, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, a visual workflow in response to the one or more tasks, wherein the visual workflow to facilitate the new business process based on the one or more tasks; and displaying, by the visual workflow processing unit that is at least partially embedded in the hardware processing device, the visual workflow at a display device.
