About MultiStep Tasks

Like a Process, a MultiStep task can include User Tasks and Approval Steps. It can also branch backward to an earlier step when approval is refused. Just like a Process, each step in the MultiStep Task generates an entry for a designated user, either in the form of a task to carry out, or an approval to grant (or withhold) after reviewing case data.

Of course, a MultiStep Task doesn't include advanced features like parallel paths--but then, there is no need to create a flowchart (or Process Model), no need to define a Process as part of the Case Management system, and no need start the process using a Rule or an additional user action. Just create the MultiStep Task, and go!

Working with MultiStep Tasks

Creating a MultiStep Task

  1. When viewing a case, click Add Task
  2. In the dialog that appears, select Multi Step
  3. For each step:
    • Provide a Description for the task
    • Specify the User or Team assigned to carry it out
    • Optionally, specify a Due Date
    • Designate it as a User Step or an Approval Step
    • For an Approval Step, specify which Step is next, after a rejection.
      (The rejection can branch backward to an earlier step, or forward to a later one.)
  4. To add additional steps, click [Add Step]]
  5. Click [Save].
    The underlying process is immediately launched. As each step is completed, the task for the next step is generated.
