Using Process Data to Create Tasks

If you have created data fields or parameters, you can drag them to a blank area of a process to automatically create a user task.

1. In the Project Explorer, click the data field or parameter, and holding down the mouse button drag the pointer to a blank part of the process and release the mouse button:
   Note: You can select multiple data fields or parameters for drag and drop operations using the Ctrl (for single selection) or Shift (to select a range) keys.
2. A menu is displayed with three options:

   • Create User Task To View And Assign Data

      Selecting this option creates a user task with the process data as an In/Out parameter on the Interface tab. This means that in the runtime environment, users will be able to display the associated form to view the field and also to assign new values to it.

   • Create User Task To View Data

      Selecting this option creates a user task with the process data as an In parameter on the Interface tab. This means that in the runtime environment, users will be able display the associated form to view the field, however they can not assign new values to it.

   • Create User Task To Assign Data  

     Selecting this option creates a user task with the process data as an Out parameter on the Interface tab. This means that in the runtime environment, users will be able display the associated form to assign new values to the field.
