Task Name

From the drop-down list, select the name of the task to be placed on the background task queue, as defined on the Background Task Definitions form. You can also enter a new task name manually, but it must be a task that is defined using the Background Task Definitions form.

If the task you want to run does not appear on the list, you can use the system filtering capabilities for drop-down lists to locate the task. An alternate and less highly recommended method would be to increase the drop-down list cap for your system.

To construct a reference to the task name using expressions, click the button to the left of this field.

The contents of this field must use this syntax:

scalarExpr

where scalarExpr is a literal string or resolves to the name of the background task to be run.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the system "wraps" this content within a TASKNAME( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

TASKNAME( scalarExpr )

Note:  If scalarExpr is a literal value, the system automatically encloses it in double quotation marks when returning it to the Event Actions form. If scalarExpr is an expression, the system does not enclose it in quotation marks.
