You can set up your system so that a standard task or Workflow template can be started as a reaction to events in Document Management. Specific events can also be defined as triggering events for the standard task or the Workflow template.
You only need to activate the link between the triggering event and the task if you really want to construct the link the link between event and standard task or Workflow template as suggested by SAP.
If you perform this work step, you automatically activate all event type links that are available for Document Management.
