Creating human tasks

To create a new human task, follow these instructions.

1. In the workbench, switch to the business integration perspective.
2. From the main menu, click File > New > Human Task.
3. Specify a module (if necessary), a folder, and a name for the new human task, and click Next.
4. 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.

5. If you have an existing interface to reference, then choose it here, otherwise select to have one automatically generated for you.
6. Click Next. If you selected an invocation task, Next is disabled and you should click Finish.
7. 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.
8. Click Finish to create your human task.
