Task


Siebel Object Types > Task

The Task object is an executable version of an organization's customer-centric business process. It provides a wizard-like user interface that guides the user through task execution, allows navigation both back and forward within task execution, and enables task execution to be paused and resumed. A task consists of one or more task steps such as start steps, subtasks, decision points, and business service steps.
