Manual application tasks

A manual application task interrupts an application process until manual intervention is done. To create a manual task, add a manual step to an application process and select a notification template.

1. Open an application process in the process editor.
2. From the Utility Steps folder, add a Manual Application Task step to the process.
3. In the Edit Properties window, specify the following properties for the step:

   Table 1. Manual Application Task properties

   Field	Description
   Name	The name for the manual task.
   Notification Template	Specify a notification template. The individual tasks map to the notification scheme used by the application (see Creating Notifications in a Notification Scheme). If you do not want notifications created for the task, select None.
   Require Comment	Enforces the approver to give a reason for approving or rejecting the task.
   Comment Prompt	Type a comment for the approver before they approve or reject the task. You can add properties to the comments. For example, you can use the snapshot.name property for approver to identify for which snapshot the approval is required. See Properties.
   Approver requirements	Only the deploying user Restricts approval to the user who started the deployment. Specific users or group Allows you to select users or groups that can approve the task.
   Add Property	Add one or more properties to the task. You can use these properties later in the process just like output properties from other steps.

4. Click Save to save the properties for the step.
5. Include the manual task in the process as with any other step.
6. Save the process.
