Task Output Data Box

This block of user interface controls shows the information and the available actions for the current task and its output data. Since this is one of the major points for user customization, only the default controls are specified here. This block is shown only if the task is in one of the following states: CLAIMED, COMPLETED, EXPIRED, ESCALATED, or FAILED.

A regular multiline text field. It has no limitations on the allowed characters or the total length. The value of the field is the output data (in XML format) of the current task. The field is editable only if the task in the CLAIMED state and has been claimed by the current user. A developer may customize the display of this field according to the types of tasks he's expecting the users to work with.

When it is activated the page is reloaded and the task's output data is updated according the value specified by the user.
