## 20.16.1 Example: Creating a Human Task from a Form Submission

You can configure both approval and action tasks, collectively known as human tasks, as page processes that can run upon submission of a form.

This example uses the Sample Workflows, Approvals, and Tasks application, which you can install from the Gallery. This example demonstrates how to set up the process that initiates a job change approval task when a user submits the Request Job Change form.

To create approval tasks when the Request Job Change form is submitted:

1. Open 7 - Request Job Change in Page Designer.
2. Open the Processing tab.
3. Right-click Processing and select Create Process.
4. Under Identification:
   1. Name - `Submit Task`
   2. Type - `Human Task - Create`
5. Under Settings:
   1. Definition - `Job Change`
   2. Details Primary Key Item - `P7_EMPNO`
6. Under Execution Options:
   1. Sequence - `20`
   2. Point - `Processing`
   3. Run Process - `Once Per Page Visit (Default)`
7. Under Server-side Condition:
   1. When Button Pressed - `SUBMIT_FOR_APPROVAL`
   2. Type - Leave as `- Select -`
8. Set the Page Process Parameters.
   1. On the Processing tab, under Submit Task, expand Parameters.
   2. Select New Job.
   3. Under Value, select `Item`.
   4. Set Item to `P7_PROPOSED_JOB`.
9. Click Save.

APEX creates an approval task when a user submits the Request Job Change form.

Note:

You can use the same steps to create an action task from a form submission.
