Managing Global Rules

About this task

By default, Task Engine provides these global task rules:
  • Delete Task Rule - this global schedule rule deletes a task in Completed, Canceled, Expired, or Error status after a specified period of time. The time interval is set by the keepDays parameter. The default value of that parameter is 30 days. This rule is evaluated once per day.
  • Infinite Loop Task Rule - this global change rule places a task in Error status when the one-hundredth version of the task is created. You can edit the expression for this rule to specify a different number.
