11.2.1. Task Types

Static task types—known simply as task types in the program—are task types that are fixed and predefined.

*Unlike dynamic task types, which are created or modified based on certain conditions, static task types remain the same throughout the execution of the workflow.

There are two main ways by which static task types can be defined, edited, and deleted in the program:

1. Menu Bar

To manage task types using the menu bar, take the following steps:

• From the Application Tree, navigate to Processes > Human Activities > Task Types (double-click to open). It will display the Task Types tab and expand the menu bar to show additional options.
  

*In this tab, users can access a list of all defined task types for the application. For guidance on how to manipulate the data presented in this tab, click here.

  • New: This button allows users to define a new task type.
