Changing the Task Type Name
You can change the task type name of a task after the task has been created. The task type name identifies the task in the Solutions view and in other locations in Software AG Designer, and anywhere the Task Type name is displayed in My webMethods. For more information, see About Task Names and Task Type IDs.
If the task you want to rename has already been published to My webMethods Server, you must republish the modified task to see the changes in My webMethods.
Note:
Although it is possible to create task types with duplicate names, you must take additional steps if you apply a task type name that is already in use. For more information, see About Task Names and Task Type IDs, especially the section .
*To change the task type name
1. Open the task in the task editor by double-clicking the task in the Solutions view.
2. Click the Overview tab.
3. In the General Information area, type the new name for the task in the Task Type Name box.
4. Save the task. In most cases, you will want to change the task type inbox name as described in Renaming a Task Root Page.
Note:
If the task type is used in a process, consider changing the task step name in the process as well. The task type and task step names do not have to match, as the task is programmatically tracked by the Task Type ID number. However, best practices recommend that you keep the display names synchronized. Note that in the Process Designer, the task name is displayed on both the General tab and on the Implementation tab.
