Applying Task Attributes

To locate tasks in the system, you can apply custom attributes to the task. When you select an attribute, you can set a value for the attribute based on the attribute type. You can later filter by the attribute value.

For example, you may have a List attribute named Sales Region with the values of North, South, East, and West. The current task applies only to the West Sales Region, so you can add the Sales Region attribute and set it to “West.”

  To apply task attributes:

  1. From the New Task dialog, select the Attributes tab.

  2. Click Actions, and then select Add, or click the Add icon.

  3. From the Attribute list, select an attribute.

  4. For Value, depending on the attribute, select a value for the attribute from a drop-down list, or enter a value.

  5. Optional: Select Display To User if you want the attribute to display on the Task Actions and the Report Binder Task page.

  6. Optional: From the Updatable by list, select an option that determines which task roles can update the attribute value.

  7. Select Required if the attribute value is required.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Click Save and Close to save the task.
