Flows for APEX - Model & run process flows within APEX!

Flows for APEX is an open source solution enabling you to design and run process flows within your APEX application. This was developed by expert members of the Oracle APEX community, and it has quickly evolved into a functionally rich process modeling solution.
In this special edition of Oracle APEX Office Hours, we will be joined by the creators of Flows for APEX, where they will present and demonstrate the latest version 5 of Flows for APEX.

This is amazing. We have been using Oracle Workflow for 20 years. We are busy porting the Forms front end to Apex. So we could port the Workflow processes to Flows also. We now need a BAM module to monitor the flows and then you have it all.

We have BAM on our roadmap. :)

Niels said: "Flow is a tool to model help developers to model the business processes and after that, start to model the data and the app in Apex." So my question is: ¿Is this tool a Workflow Tracker too, or just a tool for modeling processes at the beggining of a project, or it is to automating processes?
Years ago, I' knew a tool called Mantis wich was a Workflow Tracker that coul be installed on top of the running systems in the company. This tool tracked every process, if it was completed or not, the time consuming in each one and reportability. Also, it had beautifly designed Dashboards to manage every department and their processes.
Great job and great tool. Thanks a lot for sharing it.
PS: english is not my mother language, so if i made some mistakes or said something wrong, I apologize in advance :)

Pardon my ignorant question but I missed what one would do with the end-product of this modeling. What would I do with a BPMN definition to actually implement the defined process flow in an Enterprise application? For example, do I plug that into an Apex app that end-users log into that lets them walk through the process steps, for example to implement this ordering system?

Sorry for the very late answer.... Yes, you can use Flows for APEX to orchestrate your APEX app. So if you set up your userTasks in your model with APEX page links, then links to those pages become available in the task inbox view when that task is current. You can also scriptTasks and serviceTasks to call some PL/SQL that sends mail, runs a PL/SQL script, makes a REST call, etc.

Very very nice and smart, indeed. Need to know how to install it in my environment. Any tutorial on that? keep safe.

[@nielsdebr]

Just import the app and off you go.

My shop using Oracle APEX 19.1, so is it possible to use this tool or even this tool old version on it?

[@nielsdebr]

Sorry, Flows for APEX 5.1 works with Oracle APEX 20.1 or higher.

NIce guys but I see you do not have ANY documentation on your page. Not big deal to build BPMN diagram (we all know that) but how to integrate process with application?
