Working with Task Assignments
You can define the assignment behavior of a task by configuring one or more task assignments. With each task assignment you configure, you specify the users, groups, or roles you want the task assigned to, and any conditions that you want to apply to the assignment.
Note:
A user must be explicitly assigned to a task (either directly or through a group or a role) to see the task in any of his inboxes. If no assignments are added to a task, the task will appear only in Task List Management (where it can be assigned to a user, group, or role).
You can create two or more task assignments, and place them in different task control sets; this enables you to select different assignee lists and conditional behavior for different task implementations in the run-time environment. For more information about task control sets, see
Working with Task Control Sets.
You have the following choices for defining task assignments:
You can type in one or more user, group, or role IDs.
You can select from existing role on a connected
My webMethods Server.
You can select a task information or task business data field that will define the assignee(s).
You can specify a service that will return task assignment value(s).
You can specify a
webMethods Rules Development decision entity that will return task assignment values.
Task users working in the My webMethods user interface can, with the proper privileges, assign tasks to other users, groups, or role with the Select Principals dialog box. This dialog box is contained in several of the default task portlets as the People Picker Dialog control, which is available in the MWS Html > Control > MWSX > People folder of the Palette view. For more information about this control, see webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development Help
