Task Menu Options

Regardless of the type of Task, you add to your process, all configurations of a task will be through the Process Flow tab interface.

After a task has been added to your process, a context-sensitive task menu is available for each task by right clicking on the task.

From this Task Menu , you will be able to access specific areas of configuration. The following is a high-level list of available configurations for tasks:

Option Description

Configuration - > Configure Task Task-specific configuration will vary by task type.
Configuration -> Configure Rules Define the business rules for a task starting

Recipients -> Recipients Assign users, group(s), or role(s) to a task
