Task Step
Use the Task step to create and configure tasks to send to a user. These tasks appears on the user's task list.
You can configure the following in a Task step:
- Who receives the task (Users and Groups)
- What actions people can perform, such as Approve, Deny, and Rework
- Send a default email task notification
- Send a custom email task notification
- Configure task outcomes (what happens after someone takes a particular action)
- Configure task result rules (custom logic for determining what happens when multiple people are assigned the same task)
- Configure task result voting rules
- Configure initial and subsequent email reminders
- Use the Reminders function to redirect a task to another user after a period of time
- Configure when a task should expire and the what the workflow does after expiration
- Configure the priority of the task
Use the Task step for the following scenarios:
- When user interaction is required within a workflow
- Keep users and workflow recipients up to date and notified of new worklist items. These items needs their input in order to complete
- To allow recipients to approve, reject, review, edit, route, or otherwise act on data
Drag the Task step from the Basic category, Favorites bar, or the Recent category onto the canvas.
