Adding a Sequence of Tasks to the Pageflow Process

A pageflow process can be used to display a sequence of forms to enable the user to do a particular task, like gathering name details about a customer.

All tasks that are available in a business process are available within a pageflow process with the exception of a business process user task. Pageflow processes use a special task that does not have participants, and does not generate work items. These are referred to as pageflow user tasks.

In this procedure you create the user interface tasks in the pageflow process to capture details about a user, using the process created in Creating a New Pageflow Process.

Procedure

  1. Position the mouse pointer over the sequence flow between the Start and End events, then click to add the first user task.
  2. Click the user task once to select it, then click again to make the task name editable.
  3. Change the task name to Get the user’s cellphone number (click away from the field to save your name change).
  4. Add two more user tasks after the first one, and name them Get the user’s email address and Ask the user for a security question (click away from the field to save your name change).

    Your pageflow process now looks like the following illustration.
