Maintenance of Tab Page Control

Use

With the specifications you make on this tab page, you define:

Which task is executed in this activity.
Which properties this step has.
Who is responsible for processing the activity.

When you define a new activity, you must makes entries about the task. This supplements entries on the tab page Outcomes.

Activities

Process the following settings:

Task

Define the task to be executed. An existing task can be selected via:

Parts of names.
The application component assigned.
The method used.

Select if no suitable task exists yet.

If you enter another task in an existing step definition, the outcomes of the original single-step task are not assigned automatically to the outcomes of the newly entered single-step task. You are asked to assign the selected outcomes of the new single-step task to the outcomes of the single-step task originally entered. Superfluous outcomes and the corresponding branches of the Workflow definition are deleted.

The system creates new branches in the workflow definition for additional or unassigned outcomes of the new single-step task.

The properties and descriptive text of the selected task are displayed. However, you can only maintain these within the task definition.

Step properties

You can define the following step properties:

The task is to be determined with an expression.

You can determine which task is referenced in this activity dynamically. To do this, you define a task in the activity as usual (basic task). Select and specify the container element containing the alternative task. This task must be identical to the basic task in all interfaces. If there is no result or an error is found when the expression is resolved, the basic task is used. If you use task TS70008069 in a preceding step, the task can be evaluated easily. To do this, you must define a task group containing all tasks that could be executed in this activity. You pass this task group to the method used in task TS70008069. This method provides an expression that contains the selected task and can be used in this activity.

Processing can be rejected

If the indicator is set, processing can be rejected in the Business Workplace. The workflow definition is extended by the addition of a branch in which you must model the reaction to this rejection.

Work items for this step appear in the workflow log

The following step is to be executed immediately by the same recipient. (For further information, refer to Advancing with Immediate Dialog.)

Binding

You can process the binding definition between task container and workflow container. When you enter a task for the first time, the system proposes the following:

New container elements for the workflow container.
A binding definition.

You decide whether you want to accept the proposal in full or in part. To process the binding later, select Binding. For further information, refer to Rule-Based Proposal for Binding Definitions.

Even if you reject the proposal at first, you can define the binding automatically at a later date. To do this, select .

Agents

You process the responsible agents and the excluded agents for this step if you are referencing a dialog task. These specifications only apply to this step and complement the specifications on organizational responsibility for the task. For further information, refer to Defining Responsibilities.
