To create a new human task, follow these instructions.
Procedure
- In the workbench, switch to the business integration perspective.
- From the main menu, click .
- Specify a module (if necessary), a folder, and a name for
the new human task, and click Next.
- In the Select Type of Interaction and Interface
Definition window, choose from these three options:
| Option |
Icon |
Description |
| To-do task |
 |
This is where a service component
(such as a BPEL process) assigns a task to a human as something for
that person to do. |
| Invocation task |
 |
This is where a human can "assign"
a task to a service component. In such a case, a human is invoking
an automated service such as a BPEL process. |
| Collaboration task |
 |
This is where a human assigns
a task to another human. |
- If you have an existing interface to reference, then choose
it here, otherwise select to have one automatically generated for
you.
- Click Next.
If you selected
an invocation task, Next is disabled and you
should click Finish.
- On the Select the Type of Human Task Ownership panel,
select Single or Parallel.
Single ownership means that a task should need only one person
to complete it. The first potential owner to claim the task becomes
the sole owner. Parallel ownership allows multiple people to work
on a task simultaneously. Each potential owner is assigned a subtask
and the results of each of these subtasks are aggregated when completion
criteria are met.
- Click Finish to create your human
task.
