Example of Determining Task Performers Only After a Specific Task is Completed
For certain tasks, you may not want to evaluate the task performer when the journey is assigned to the worker.
For example, a worker's Line Manager or Areas of Responsibility (AoR) leaves the organization or has a change in their role before they are assigned the task to perform. In this case, you want to determine the task performer only at the time of actual task assignment.
To determine the task performer, you can use the Task Group feature to create a task group and add tasks to the group that you want the Line Manager or AoR to perform. In this example, as a HR Specialist, you need to create a task group that includes 3 tasks. The Line Manager and AoR need to do these tasks as part of a new hire’s onboarding. You add this task group to an onboarding journey template that you created previously.
