Defining Task Tools

Tasks represent actions that must be performed. Within PeopleSoft Marketing, tasks are associated with campaigns, collateral, and offers, and are assigned to appropriate team members as a reminder to do a certain thing at a certain time. When a task is assigned to a campaign team member, a notification is added to the team's worklist when it is time for the team to perform the task.

Task shells enable you to define common tasks one time and reuse them whenever needed. Task sets enable you to combine several commonly used tasks into a group that you can reuse.

To define task shells, use the Task Shell (RA_TASK_SHELL) component.

Use the Task Shell page (RA_TASK_SHELL) to define task shells.

To define task sets, use the Task Sets (RA_TASK_GROUP) component.
