Roles in Single-Step Tasks 

Use

You use roles to define the responsible agents of the single-step task and the recipients of notifications.

Features

To determine the responsible agents and recipients of notifications, you can specify roles. Depending on the use of the task, these roles are evaluated as follows:

Task is started in dialog or via an event

The system resolves the role Agents at runtime and determines the responsible agents of the task. All responsible agents who are also possible agents become recipients of the relevant work item.

Task is started from a workflow

The roles entered are only resolved if nothing is specified in the step definition.

Activities

You make the presettings on the tab page Default roles.

Binding

You must define the binding from the task container to the role container for each role.

For further information, refer to Role Resolution.
