Manage HCM Tasks

The BPM Worklist in Oracle Applications Cloud provides a user interface for managing workflows and processes. You might need to access the workflow data externally and also combine data from multiple sources. The Worklist API enables you to access this data and interact with workflows programmatically. Users can view the list of tasks assigned to them along with the header information. They can also access the task details and take appropriate action such as approval.

The Worklist API supports the following transaction types and includes several APIs that span across Oracle Applications Cloud.

• Absences Management
• Timecards Approvals
• HCM Alerts
• New Hire
• New Terms
• New Work Relationship
• Termination
• Resignation Approval
• Regular Transfer
• Global Transfer
• Promotion
• Change Manager
• Change Assignment
• Change Location
• Change Work Hours
• Personal Information (Name Change)
• Expenses
• Person External Identifiers
• Manage Employment
• Manage Work Relationship
• Manage Areas of Responsibility

Your REST API client interacts with the following APIs.

API	Description
BPM Tasks API	Serves as the REST entry point for the client and retrieves the list of tasks for the user, specifically their workflow information. It also provides transaction information for alert notifications.
HCM Tasks API	Provides information about HCM-specific tasks, particularly contextual and transactional information about Transaction Framework-enabled transactions. It also provides links to applicable additional information for other types of tasks.

HCM Absences API	Provides context and transactional information about absence requests.

Application Processing

To retrieve the tasks with related data and operate on them, the REST client performs the following sequence of steps and executes the related REST calls to complete the end-to-end workflow.

Sequence	Step	More Information
1	View the list of tasks assigned to the user.	Retrieve List of Tasks
2	View the workflow details of the HCM task.	Retrieve HCM Task Details
3	View the context information and transaction details of the task.	Retrieve Additional Information
4	Perform applicable action on the task.	Perform Task Action

The following figure shows the sequence of related REST calls for the end-to-end flow.
