Task Generator
Usage
The Task Generator is an important tool for integrating users in automated processes. By using a Task Generator you can create tasks and web applications:
-
Tasks
Tasks can be created to allow user interaction with business processes while they are processed. A typical task is, for example, releasing a purchase requisition.
If you integrate a staff member into a process by assigning a task, an entry in the individual task list of this staff member is created. The task list can be displayed in a Web browser, in the BPC Portal or in the INUBIT Workbench.
Tasks can be assigned based on roles and rules.
When creating tasks, you can also define a time frame which must be observed for processing them. If a task is not processed within this time frame, it can be escalated or delegated.
The different tasks types enable you to include for example reports, documents or external applications, to only display information or allow users to edit them within given time limits.
-
Web applications
If a process should be initiated by a user interaction, you can create a form for Web applications using a Task Generator.
Web applications are entirely form-based application within the BPC Portal.
