Configuring a task action

Complete the following steps to configure the actions on the task.

About this task

The actions that are specified for the manual activity task are links to Cúram application pages where the work required to perform the task can be performed. The pages that are specified in the task actions must be valid Cúram pages and must be available in the Cúram application. The parameters in the pages must match the parameters that are specified as action link parameters in the associated task actions.

Procedure

  1. From the workflow activity, select the Task Details tab and select the Actions section from the side navigation bar and click New.
  2. From the New Action window, enter the following details.
    Name Description
    Page ID The identifier of the target Cúram page on which a user can perform the required action.
    Action Text The description that is displayed on the action text link.
    Principal Action Actions can be defined as primary or secondary actions. Principal actions usually contain the links to the Cúram pages on which a user can perform the actual required work. Secondary actions usually contain links to supporting information that the user assigned to do the work can refer to while they work on the assigned task.
    Open In Modal If this indicator is set to true, then the page that is specified by the action link is opened in a modal dialog.

    When the field is set to false (default), then the client infrastructure decides how to open the link in the same fashion as it does with any other link in the application. That is, if the page is part of a tab configuration, then it opens the appropriate tab. Otherwise, it replaces the action link home page in the content area of the current tab.
    Multiple Occurring Action This field signifies that this action represents a multiple occurring action. When the activity is executed, the workflow engine creates one action record for each item in the list workflow data object specified as the multiple occurring action.
    Note: When the multiple occurring action is specified for an action, then an attribute from the associated list workflow data object must be used as a link parameter for the action.
  3. Click Save.
