    Option Description
    Participating task This is where a service component (such as a business process) assigns a task to a human.
    Originating task This is where a human can assign a task to a service component. In such a case, a human is invoking an automated service.
    Pure human task This is where a human may assign a task to another human. Similar to the previous type in that the human invokes a service, but in this case, it is completed by another human.
