Task Descriptor Structures

The only task type that is supported is table. The system selects table by default. Only one data element in the manage task descriptor process may be worked on at a time. To create this element, click add new, which is located in its element table.

Note: For details about each element and its attribute definitions, see Business Rules Descriptors.

Each task descriptor has a unique name field that identifies the descriptor. The description field is optional and is not used in the XML that is created; however, the information in this field can be stored in the database for future reference.

Note: For details about task types, see Business Rules Descriptors.

User Exit Classes is a special type of element that can identify user-defined objects.

Each element has an expand (+) and a collapse (-) link. Click expand and the application displays the available objects for the selected element. Clicking collapse makes all such objects hidden from the view. Attributes that have an asterisk (*) are required fields.

Data Name Element

At the right side of the task element table, click add new. The new element displays at the end of the list.

Only one data element is available for the given task descriptor. Therefore, if any data name (dataName) element is already created, the only available function is delete this.

If the user is authorized to add a new data name, the data name selection list contains the add new link at the end. Selecting this option saves the current session and opens the create new data screen. After the new data name is created, control returns to this screen and the new data is selected in the list box.

The default is empty fields. If required, change the values before saving.

Each element row begins with the function menu. To display available functions, click the arrow and choose one of the functions listed in Table 1.
