Creating a Task Event

A task event is an optional object type that you can define for a task UI. You can define the following task events:

• Pause
• Resume
• PreCancel
• PostCancel
• PostComplete
• Delete

For more information, see About Event Handling, and Siebel Object Types Reference.

To create a task event

1. If necessary, display the Task object hierarchy.

   For more information, see Displaying Object Types You Use to Develop a Task UI.

2. Locate the task UI you must modify.

   For more information, see Locating a Task UI in the Tasks List.

   You cannot configure a subtask to reference an event. If the Is Subtask property of the task UI is set to TRUE, then you cannot add a task event to this task.

3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Task tree, and then click Task Event.
4. In the Task Events list, create a new task event:
   1. In the Name property, choose a name.
   2. Identify a business service or a workflow process to handle the event.

      For more information, see Specifying a Business Service or a Workflow Process to Handle a Task Event.

   3. Optional. Define input arguments and output arguments for the event.

      For more information, see Creating Input Arguments and Output Arguments for a Task Event.

Specifying a Business Service or a Workflow Process to Handle a Task Event

You can specify a business service or a workflow process to handle a task event.

To specify a business service or a workflow process to handle a task event

1. In the Task Events list, locate the task event you must modify.
2. Specify a business service or a workflow process to handle the task event:
   • To use a business service to handle the event, do the following:
     • Define the Business Service Name property.
     • Define the Business Service Method property.
   • To use a workflow process to handle the event, choose the name of the workflow process in the Workflow Process property.

     If the Workflow Process property includes a value, then Siebel Tools ignores the Business Service Name and Business Service Method properties and the workflow process handles the event.

     If you choose Workflow Process to handle the event, then you cannot define input arguments and output arguments. To use a workflow process as a handler for a business service, you define the following properties:

     Property	Value
     Business Service	Workflow Process Manager
     Method	RunProcess

     For more information, see Using a Business Service Step to Call a Workflow Process.
