Edit Background Task Name and Parameters

Edit Background Task Name and Parameters (Web Designer form)

This version of the Event Handler Parameters form is used with form events that have been assigned a Response > Type of Run Background Task.

The fields and options specific to this response type include these:

Field/Option Description
Task Name Use this field to specify the name of the background task to be run.

The task name must be defined on the Background Task Definitions form.

Task Parameters Use this field to specify a comma-delimited list of task parameters required by the background task to be run. These parameters typically control what data is displayed on a report.
Task Status Use this field to specify one of these alternatives:
  • READY - This option places the task on the Background Task Queue to be run as soon as possible after the event is generated.
  • WAITING - This option places the task on the Background Task Queue to be run only when the scheduling requirements for that task, as set on the Background Queue form, are met.
Task Number Use this field to specify the variable to which TaskMan should assign the task number.
Profile Parameters Use this field to specify a comma-delimited list of profile parameters required by the background task to be run. These parameters typically affect how the task is to be run and delivered (language, number of copies, emailing, and so on).
