Disabling and Enabling a Task Type

About this task

When you disable a task type, you prevent tasks from being started from it, either manually or automatically from within a process. The results of disabling a process-started task type depend on how the process developer created the process. If no accommodation for a non-starting task is included, the process will most likely fail as a result of the task not starting. Task types are enabled by default.
