Managing Workflow Tasks

A workflow task is a single set of changes performed by a user for a local node within the context of a request. Request items in requests are controlled by workflow tasks.

A workflow task consists of an action type, instructions for the user, properties to be viewed or edited, and validations. The action type for a workflow task specifies the basic type of action being performed, such as adding, moving, or updating nodes. Each action type defines rules regarding the selection of nodes and parents, application of property updates, and the actions to perform when the request is validated and committed.

Note:

The following actions are not supported in workflow requests:

• Merging nodes

• Annulling nodes

• Reactivating nodes

• Inserting orphan nodes

• Adding domain nodes where the domain is different from the parent
