About Task Comments and Attachments Sharing
As part of a collaborative workflow environment, you can specify a scope that defines how comments and attachments are shared among other users and other tasks.
Note:
The sharing of attachments applies only to attachments on the
Comments tab or to attachments added from an attachments list panel that has been added to Task Details portlet default view (see
Adding Attachment Capability to a
Task). Attachments on the
Content tab are not subject to sharing.
The following scope selections are available for comments and attachments in all tasks:
Task Instance. This is the default scope. Each individual task instance has its own unique attachments and comments (that is, they are not shared).
Process Instance. All tasks within the same process model instance share their comments or attachments. This applies even when different task types are in use within the process model. When this scope is specified, you will see comments and attachments for all tasks started within that process model when you view the task comments or attachments of any task instance started from within the process model.
Process Instance AND Control Set. All tasks within the same process model instance that use the same control set share their comments or attachments. This applies even when different task types are in use within the process model. When this scope is specified, tasks started within that process model must share a task control set to enable sharing of task comments or attachments. For more information about control sets, see
Working with Task Control Sets.
Collaboration Process. All tasks within a single collaboration process instance share comments or attachments. This applies even when different task types are in use within the collaboration process. For more information about collaboration processes, see
About Collaboration Processes.
