Specifying Allowed Collaboration Tasks

Edit online

About this task

Collaboration tasks can be started automatically within a business process, or manually by a user from within an existing task that is enabled for collaboration. For more information about these two approaches, see How Collaboration Tasks Differ from Standard Tasks.

To start a collaboration task manually, the user must specify a task type that will determine what kind of collaboration task instance will be created. The available task types are specified on the Task Type Details page for each task type.
