Designing and Implementing Business Process Models 10.5 | Designing and Implementing Business Process Models | ARIS Method manual | Modeling BPMN 2.0 | Process | Activities | Activity type: Task
 
Activity type: Task
See: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN).
BPMN 2.0 distinguishes eight task types which are represented by different symbols (see ). Only the Abstract task is available in the Symbols bar. The symbols of the remaining seven special task types are not available in the Symbols bar, they are handled by the program.
Activity type: Task
When the modeler selects a specific task symbol the software sets the corresponding value of the ARIS attribute type Task type. This attribute type is read-only. It provides the following values: Abstract task, Business rule task, Manual task, Script task, Send task, Service task, Receive task, and User task.
