Where do the task types come from?

Administrators create task types in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application. Task types are used to identify the type of the task and the way the task is used. Task types can be classified as Standard or Translation. Administrators select a default team to which tasks of each type are assigned. Selecting a default team is optional for standard tasks.

When you create a task, you choose a task type on which to base the task.

You can create multiple task types for each task classification. Task classifications are predefined and you cannot modify them.

Task classification Description Example

Standard

Used for all non-translation tasks assigned to an individual or team.

When you create a standard task, you can override the default assignment.

  • Task name: Create form
  • Default teams: Study designers, Form designers

Translation

Used for tasks that request translation of a study object into one or more languages.

When you create a translation task, you choose the language into which the study object must be translated.

Note:

Oracle recommends selecting only one language for each translation task, unless you expect that the same person will translate into all of the selected languages.
  • Task name: Translate form
  • Default team: Translation team
