You are familiar with the procedure for defining tasks . For this reason, a recap of only the most important steps will be provided here.

You want to define the task (single or multistep task) that is to be started by the electronic form.

1. To create the task choose Tools ® Business Workflow ® Development ® Definition tools ® Tasks/ Task groups ® Create.
2. Enter the type of task you want to create in the Task type field.

Then choose Task ® Create.

3. Define the basic data of your task.

Extending the Container Definition

Now extend the container of your task to include the elements that are to be filled via the form.

4. To launch the container editor, choose Goto ® Container.
5. The container already contains the standard system elements. To add elements to the container, choose Edit ® Create.

You can only transfer single values (not object references) from the form. If you want to add container elements for this purpose, therefore, you must always create them as single-line elements with a data type reference to a table field in the dictionary.

6. Create a suitable container element for all of the fields you want to fill in the form. Define these elements as import elements.



Since you cannot use elements that reference objects or structures or multiple line elements, you may need to make extensive changes to the container.

Further Procedure

Complete the task definition:

7. Declare the possible agents that are allowed to start the task by filling out and submitting the form.
8. Save your task definition in the development class that you entered in the Customizing activity for maintaining the namespace.
9. If the task is a multistep task, maintain the associated workflow definition.
