Add a Task Node

A task node automatically creates and assigns a task to a user, sending an email notification to alert users of the new task and its location.

Use these steps to add and configure a task node.

  1. Navigate to Advanced Nodes > Task within the Workflow Designer dialog.
  2. Connect the task node to the workflow. For example, connect the task node to a decision node.
  3. Right-click on the task node and click Configure.
  4. Use the Name and Description fields to enter basic information about the node.
  5. Use the Container field to select the container where the new task will be created.
  6. Select the Pause Workflow check box to pause the workflow when the new task is created.
  7. Use the Is Editable, Is Visible, Allow Markup Creation, and Is Revisable check boxes to configure the document that is created.
  8. Use the Is Editable, Is Visible, Allow Markup Creation, and Is Revisable check boxes to configure the item.
