Refactoring Ad-Hoc Activities

You can refactor one or multiple ad-hoc user tasks into a sub-process.

Note:

You might want to do this with an ad-hoc user task, as certain actions are not available to you on the ad-hoc user task. However, once you refactor one or multiple user tasks into a reusable sub-process, more actions are available. For example, you can add a deadline to a user task within an ad-hoc reusable sub-process, but not to an ad-hoc user task.

Note that when refactoring a single ad-hoc user task, the re-usable sub-process will inherit the ad-hoc configuration. When refactoring multiple ad-hoc user tasks the re-usable sub-process will contain multiple user tasks which retain their ad-hoc configuration.

Procedure

  1. Select an ad-hoc user task (or multiple ad-hoc user tasks), right-click and select Refactor > Extract Into New Sub-Process.
  2. Follow the steps in the wizard to refactor. The ad-hoc user task or tasks will now be a reusable sub-process.
