In the runtime environment, if a person who claims a task
finds that they are not able to complete it by themselves, they can
delegate portions of that original task to other people in the form
of subtasks.
About this task
Typically, staff members who have already claimed a task
can create a subtask when they can't complete the work by themselves.
A subtask can be derived from an inline or stand-alone to-do task,
as well as a collaboration task, and can be realized either as a stand-alone
invocation or a collaboration task. When you are creating the human
task definition, you can decide if the business case justifies the
need for the creation of subtasks, and configure your definition accordingly.
To control the creation of subtasks, proceed as follows:
Procedure
- Open your task in the human task editor.
- In the Details tab of the properties area, configure
the Enable subtask creation check box according
to the following choices:
| Option |
Description |
| Enabled |
If this check box is enabled, then this human task definition
will allow for the creation of subtasks in the runtime environment. |
| Cleared |
If this check box is clear, then users will not be able to
delegate portions of this task in the from of subtasks. |
