Tasks

Tasks are the fundamental building blocks in a process definition. You define a process in terms of the tasks involved, the sequence of those tasks, and the process control objects that exist between them.

You can only place tasks under states and tasks can only call other tasks. Tasks are reusable within the same process.

A task consists of:

  • A name

  • A description

  • Actions

    Note:
    The ChangeState and EndProcess actions are state-level actions and you cannot add them to a task.

  • Local variables, which are variables assigned only to that task

  • Inputs and outputs that populate local variables from the calling state or task
