A task is a work item that associated with manual activity. A manual activity can contain multiple work items (tasks) and each task will be assigned to a specific participant as defined in the process template. Similar to a process, a task will also go through several states throughout a task lifecycle. A task lifecycle includes the following states:
Field Definitions
| Field Name | Definition |
|---|---|
New |
A new work item (task) is created with associated data. It is not been assigned to its participant. |
Assigned |
The work item is assigned to its specified participant and is now ready to perform. |
Completed |
The work item is completed by the participant. The work item will be marked as "Completed". |
Overdue |
The work item has passed its scheduled duration and has not been completed. The work item is still considered as active but special action may be needed to handle overdue work item. |
Cancelled |
The work item has been terminated before its normal completion. The work item will be marked as "Cancelled". |
Reassigned |
The work item has been reassigned to another participant. The work item will be marked as "Reassigned" and a new work item is created and assigned to another participant. |
