Creating a Task Assignment

About this task

After you create a task you can create one or more task assignments. If you create two or more task assignments, you can place them in different task control sets; this enables you to select different assignee lists and conditional behavior for different task implementations in the run-time environment. For more information about task control sets, see Working with Task Control Sets.

If you are working with a collaboration task, you can preconfigure a task assignment—this is generally done when the collaboration task is to be used inside a business process and you want the task assignment completed automatically.

If the collaboration task is to be used manually (that is, queued by a user from a parent task in the user's inbox) you can opt to omit the preconfigured assignment and let the user assign the collaboration task at creation time.
