Task

A task defines a user interface that guides the user through task UI completion. A task UI can include one or more task UI steps, such as a start step, subtask, decision point, or business service step.

This object type occurs in the following location in the object hierarchy:

  • Siebel Objects > Task

The following table describes properties that Siebel CRM uses with a task.
