Viewing task escalations

An escalation notifies the escalation receiver that a user might have problems completing their assigned task on time.

About this task

When a task becomes overdue, it might result in an escalation. An escalation can result in the following actions:
  • A new work item is created, for example, for a manager to take action to support the resolution of the problem.
  • If you specified email settings when you configured the human task container, an email is sent to a designated person to inform them about the escalated task.
  • An event notification handler is called.

Complete the following steps in Business Process Choreographer Explorer.

Procedure

To view escalations, click My Escalations under Task Instances in the Views tab navigation pane.
