Task Types workspace

In the Task Types workspace, you create task types. A task type is a classification used to identify the type of the task and the way the task is used. For example, you can use a Create Form task type for assigning form creation work.

Definitions of task types

For each task type, you define:

• A classification, which identifies the purpose of a task. The options are Standard and Translation.
• A study or library team to which tasks of that type are assigned by default.
  • For Standard tasks, specifying a team is optional, and Oracle Central Designer users can override the default assignment.
  • For Translation tasks, you must specify a team, and Oracle Central Designer users cannot override the assignment. In the Oracle Central Designer application, only the users with the language fluency skills for the requested translation work can view the translation task.

  Note:

  Study and library roles appear as study and library teams in the Oracle Central Designer application.

Sample task types

You can choose the level of detail that you need for task types. For example, you can have a generic Work request task type, or you can create specific types such as:

• Rule design
• Layout design
• Translation

If people frequently require clarification about tasks that are assigned to them and you need to track the requests for additional information, consider creating a Clarification task type that people can use to obtain additional information.

To open the Task Types workspace:

1. Click the System Config button.

Task Types workspace - Field descriptions

Field	Description
Name	Name of the task type.
Description	Description of the task type.
Task Classification	Classification of the task. Standard—Used for all non-translation tasks assigned to an individual or team. Translation—Used for tasks that request translation of a study object into one or more languages.
Assigned To	Study or library team to which tasks of this type are assigned by default. Note: Study and library roles appear as study and library teams in the Oracle Central Designer application. The default team for translation tasks cannot be overridden in the Oracle Central Designer application. For translation tasks, members of the team see a task only if they are fluent in the language to which the study object needs to be translated.
