JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Tasks
Start
A task that begins a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process when triggered by an event. This task is automatically included in the process when you create a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process.
End
A task that completes a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process. As with Start, this task is automatically included in the process when you create a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process.
Report
A task that starts a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne batch application.
Business Function
A task that uses a business function for special logic processing, including any business functions that are written in C programming language or named event rules. For example, you can set up a business function task that updates the database if a user approves an active message.
Local Process
A task that starts another JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process, which includes its own set of tasks.
Information Task
A task that sends notifications only. You can attach shortcuts, but recipients will not be able to respond to them. An Information task can include these items:
- A recipient specifying to whom the message will be sent. You can also include a Cc and Bcc email address.
- A shortcut to the Generic JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Approval forms (P98806) or any other form.
- A message template containing boilerplate text and values that are substituted from data items within key data and additional data structures of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process.
- A media object and a media object key. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software media
objects and imaging features enable you to attach useful information to an
application, including information that might currently exist as a paper-based
document. The media objects feature enables you to attach the information to JD
Edwards EnterpriseOne software applications, forms and rows, and Object Librarian
objects. The imaging feature within media objects gives you the flexibility to
create an efficient method of information storage.
The media object key uniquely defines a record in the generic text database.
Action Task
A task that sends a message that requires a response from the recipient(s) via a web shortcut. An Action task can include these items:
- A recipient specifying to whom the message will be sent. You can also include a Cc and Bcc email address.
- A shortcut to the Generic JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Approval forms (P98806) or any other form.
- A message template containing boilerplate text and values that are substituted from data items within key data and additional data structures of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process.
- A media object and a media object key. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software media objects and imaging features enable you to attach useful information to an application, including information that might currently exist as a paper-based document. The media objects feature enables you to attach the information to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software applications, forms and rows, and Object Librarian objects. The imaging feature within media objects gives you the flexibility to create an efficient method of information storage.
- Escalation options enabling the system to forward (escalate) unread messages after a certain period of time to another user. You add escalation to a message so that if the original recipient of the message is not available to respond to the message, another person will receive the message.
Halt
A task that suspends the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process for a certain period. When a period of time has passed or when an event occurs, the process starts again. The process is permanently halted until some outside event restarts it. You specify the earliest date and time that the task can be restarted within the instance record.
Orchestration (Tools Release 9.2.7)
A task that calls an orchestration from a workflow process. You have an option to either call an orchestration or a notification using the Orchestration task.
