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:
- From the palette, drop a human task activity (
) onto the canvas.
- In the properties area, click the Details tab.
- Click New to create a human task.
- In the Interface Selection window, select an appropriate interface
and click OK. The human task editor
will open.
- 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.
