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 |
