Create Submit and Approval Tasks

You can create human tasks to model the user interaction with the application. You can use submit tasks to display a form for the user to complete and submit. You can use approval tasks to display a form for the user to view and/or complete, and then perform an action such as approving it, or rejecting it, or a custom action that you define.

To create a submit task:

1. Edit an existing business process or create a new one.
2. Click the Show All button located at the bottom of the Activities toolbar.
3. Select the Human task.
   The Submit and Approve tasks appear to the left of the toolbar.
4. Click the task that you want to add. Then drag it to the process editor and drop it on the swimlane that represents role that you want to have access to this human task. If you drop the task over a transition, it gets automatically added to the process flow.
   The Submit or Approve task is added to the process.
5. Configure the human task by following one of the procedures described in Configuring Human Tasks.
6. Click the Save and Continue Editing button located next to the editing label in the toolbar.
   A default process data object with the name TaskOutcomeDataObject is automatically created for the human task outcome and is shared by all the human tasks in a process. This default data object is automatically associated with the outcome field in the human task output when you click Save.

   Note:

   TaskOutcomeDataObject is a reserved name and therefore, you can’t use this name when creating data objects.
