Tasks

The Tasks page lists tasks that are relevant to you across all processes and executions. Access it from the left sidebar.

In the sidebar, the counter on the task icon indicates the number of 'Not started' or 'In progress' tasks that are assigned to you.

On each tab, the counter indicates the number of tasks that are 'Not started' or 'In progress'. Completed tasks are not counted.

Creating tasks​

  • A process: see Manage a process.
  • A step during an execution: see Running an execution.

When the task is successfully created, the user assigned to the task will receive an email.
