Adding a human task to a business process

A human task is, quite simply, a unit of work done by a human. When used from the process editor, it sends a process-related task out to a human for completion.

Assigning a task to a human involves the interaction between two editors within the WebSphere® Integration Developer environment. You use the process editor to compose a process that requires human interaction, and you use the human task editor to configure the task itself.

To add a human task to a business process, proceed as follows:

  1. From the palette, drop a human task activity (The human task activity icon) onto the canvas.
  2. In the properties area, click the Details tab.
  3. Click New to create a human task.
  4. In the Interface Selection window, select an appropriate interface and click OK. The human task editor will open.
  5. Use the settings in the human task editor to configure this human task. For instructions on how to use the editor, follow the links in the Related information section below.
