Task Client Option Definitions

The following task client options are available (for information about setting these task client options, see Modifying Client Options for a Task):

Auto-accept task upon opening in task type inbox results (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, a task is automatically accepted by the user when the task is opened from a task type inbox results (does not apply to My Inbox). You can enable this option when you create a task, and you can modify this option by updating the default view of the Task Inbox Results portlet, if one is included in the task.

Show completed tasks in the task type inbox results (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, completed tasks continue to be visible in the task type inbox results (does not apply to My Inbox). When disabled, completed tasks are removed from the inbox results upon completion. Applies to custom task type inboxes only. Set this option by updating the default view of the Task Inbox Results portlet.

Search all task types when searching for task type inbox results (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, a task search includes all task types, not just the task type associated with the inbox. Applies to custom task type inboxes only. Set this option by updating the default view of the Task Inbox Results portlet.

Important:
Do not select this option if you have enabled the task type to use an indexed business data search provider.

If the task type uses a standard search provider and you want to include only some, but not all, of the available task types, leave this option unselected and restrict the search to a specific set of task types by using the procedure described in Searching Indexed Data in a Custom Task Inbox.

Hide tasks accepted by others in the task type inbox results (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, tasks accepted by other users do not appear in the task type inbox results (does not apply to My Inbox). Applies to custom task type inboxes only. Set this option by updating the default view of the Task Inbox Results portlet.

Auto-accept task upon modification (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, the task is automatically accepted by the user when the user modifies the task, and released immediately after the modification. You can enable this option when you create a task, and you can modify this option by updating the default view of the Task Details portlet.

Require task acceptance to permit modification (enabled by default). When this option is enabled, the user is forced to accept a task before applying any modifications to the task. You can modify this option by updating the default view of the Task Details portlet.

Enable User Routing (disabled by default). When this option is enabled, the user can assign an open task instance in the user's inbox to another user, group, or role. This ability appears on the task Data View tab. You can enable this option when you create a task, and you can modify this option by updating the default view of the Task Details portlet.
