Adding a Task Step

A task step is a type of workflow process step that starts a task UI from a workflow process. If a workflow process calls a task UI, then Siebel CRM does the following:

• Adds this task UI to the user Inbox.
• Sets the workflow process state to waiting until the user finishes this task UI.
• When the task UI finishes, Siebel CRM resumes the workflow process at the next step that is immediately downstream of the task UI step.

To add a task step

1. Make sure the task UI that this workflow process must call is already defined.

   For information about defining a task UI, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide.

2. In the Object Explorer, click Workflow Process.
3. In the Workflow Processes list, locate the workflow process you must modify, and then set the Workflow Mode property to Long Running Flow.
4. Right-click the workflow process you modified in Step 3, and then click Edit Workflow Process.
5. Add a task step to the workflow process.

   For more information, see Adding a Step to a Workflow Process.

6. Make sure the step you added in Step 5 is still chosen in the Process Designer.
7. In the Properties window, In the Task Name property, choose the task UI that this workflow process must run.

   After you define a task step in the Process Designer and set the Task Name property, you can double-click the task step to open the Task Editor.

8. Make sure the Inactive property is set to FALSE.
9. In the MVPW, add new input, output, and recipient arguments.
