Customizing for Tasks and Workflows

Use

In this IMG activity you activate triggering events of tasks and workflows and assign possible agents to them.

Integration

This IMG activity enables you to set up centrally in the implementation phase all the tasks and workflows that you will use.

However, you can also carry out the steps required individually within the relevant definitions. You only have to call the definition in display mode to carry out the activities described. You do not have to call the definition in change mode.

Prerequisites

You must know:

  • Which of the tasks and workflows belong to workflow scenarios that you want to use.

  • The application component to which these tasks and workflows are assigned.

Features

The Customizing of tasks and workflows involves the following activities:

  • Activation of triggering events

    If SAP's usage of the task or workflow includes starting with a triggering event, the type linkage is supplied inactive and you have to activate it if required. This is the only way to restrict the workflow functions to the areas in which you actually want to use them.

  • Assignment of possible agents

    All tasks that are represented by dialog work items when they are executed must be assigned to their possible agents, or be classified as general task. Whether a task is executed as a single step or as a step in a workflow is immaterial.

    All workflows that are to be started in dialog also have to be assigned to their possible agents.
