The task expression language used within task type rules is proprietary and is essentially simplistic in nature. However, it does offer binding capability to a wide range of data within the task environment.

Task expressions are created primarily with the task editor interface in Software AG Designer. The simple condition editor, for example, enables you to select various condition parameters in plain English, and then creates a task expression automatically. With this functionality, you are able to create conditions and actions without learning the task expression language.

For those users who would like to learn more about the task expression language, and possibly construct custom expressions, the material in this appendix provides an overview of the task expression language.
