Creating a task

When creating a task, the action code (ProcessPulseTask/DataArea/Process/ActionCriteria/ ActionExpression/@actionCode) must be "Add".

This table shows the elements you can use in the noun instance (ProcessPulseTask/DataArea/PulseTask):


Element	Note
Priority	Optional, default is MEDIUM.
Description	Required
Note	Optional
Parameter and child elements	Optional
`DistributionPerson` or `DistributionGroup`	Define at least one `DistributionPerson` or `DistributionGroup`. For a `DistributionPerson`, do not specify the `Distribution/ID`, because it is generated by the Activities engine.

Do not use other elements, such as DocumentID, CreationDateTime, and Status, when creating a task. These elements are determined by the Activities engine.

This table shows the elements that are included in the resulting AcknowledgePulseTask BOD:


Element	Note
`DocumentID/ID`	Available if `actionCode` = "Accepted". If the task cannot be created successfully, the `actionCode` is "Rejected".

Note: We recommend that you include a unique value for the BODID. You can use that to process the AcknowledgePulseTask because the BODID is available again in the original application area.

If the task could not be created, you receive an AcknowledgePulseTask BOD with action code 'Rejected'.

If the AcknowledgePulseTask BOD can not be delivered, a Confirm BOD is generated.
