Task Flow Styles

Use the Task Flow Styles page to manage upgraded task flow styles for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page).

Task flow styles describe the layout of a newly created task flow. Out-of-the-box, WebCenter Portal comes with two built-in task flow styles.

Only users with the application-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Mashup Styles can manage shared task flow styles. Users with the portal-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Assets (simple permissions model) or Create, Edit, and Delete Mashup Styles (detailed permissions model) can manage portal-level task flow styles.
