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.
