Human Task Configuration
A Human task is composed of task instances and steps.
You create task instances to divide the data set among multiple users. You create steps to define the actions that users must complete. You identify the users who will work on task instances when the task data reaches the step.
Configuring Task Instances in a Human Task
You configure task instances at the Human task level in a workflow.
Use the Human task Properties view to configure the task options. If you cannot see the Properties view, select Window > Show View > Properties.
1. Open a workflow in the Developer tool, and add a Human task.
2. In the General tab, verify the Human task name and optional description.
3. In the Participants tab, identify the business administrators who will manage the task instances.
4. In the Data Source tab, specify the database connection information for the database that stores the exception records.
5. In the Task Distribution tab, configure the options that the workflow uses to assign data to task instances.
6. In the Notificationstab, identify the users to notify when the Human task are complete, and write the email notification.
7. In the Input tab, define the Human task input.
Set the input to read the exceptionLoadCount variable from the Mapping task in the workflow.
8. Optionally set the output to write task information to one or more variables in the Output tab.
The outputs indicate the start time, end time, and whether the task successfully ran.
Configuring Task Steps
You configure one or more steps in a Human task. You can add Exception steps or Cluster steps. Optionally create Review steps to verify the work in the Exception or Cluster steps.
1. Open a Human task from a workflow.
2. In the General tab, verify the step name and optional description.
3. In the Participants tab, select the users or groups who can work on tasks in the step.
You identify the users or groups who perform the tasks, and you identify the business administrators to notify about the task assignments.
4. In the Timeout tab, set the time period in which the tasks must complete.
5. In the Notifications tab, identify the users to notify when a task instance associated with the step changes status.
6. In the Configuration tab, select the Exception or Cluster step to review. The Configuration tab appears in Review tasks only.
