Managing Global Rules
By default, Task Engine provides these global task rules:
Delete Task Rule - this global schedule rule deletes a task in Completed, Canceled, Expired, or Error status after a specified period of time. The time interval is set by the
keepDays parameter. The default value of that parameter is 30 days. This rule is evaluated once per day.
Infinite Loop Task Rule - this global change rule places a task in Error status when the one-hundredth version of the task is created. You can edit the expression for this rule to specify a different number.
