Intranet Dialog Task

This shape is used in AgileXRM processes (not in AgileDialogs models) and creates an Intranet Manual Task for the participant. When the task is opened, the AgileDialog starts for the user to interact with.

When the AgileDialog is completed this activity is completed and the process continues.

Use this shape rather than the Intranet Manual Task shape (with an associated ALF form), when the user needs to be guided to complete the task.

Common AgileWork Tasks

Add/Remove Timer

Right-clicking the shape brings up the Add Timer menu action. Clicking it adds a timer to the shape, allowing the process modeler to add an alternative route out of the shape when the configured Time Span times out.

Right-clicking a shape with a Timer shows a Remove Timer menu action, which would remove the timer from the shape.
