Actions that initialize or change replacement variables for human task elements
This describes which Human Task Manager replacement variables can be considered to be initialized before the completion of specific task-related actions. This allows both replacement variable initialization and task element evaluation to be done in the same task action.
The following table summarizes the replacement variables
that are available for use in human tasks. It includes the initialization
sequences for both replacement variable calculation and task element
evaluation during the execution of a task action.
