Creating alerts, tasks, or notifications

Use PulseTask if the user is expected to perform a defined task. Use PulseAlert to notify a user of an exception. The user can decide whether to take action and then close the alert. Use PulseNotification to send a message 'for your information' to one or more users.

The diagram shows how tasks, alerts and notifications are created by sending Pulse BODs. In the diagram a task (PulseTask) is shown, but the process is the same for notifications (PulseNotification) and alerts (PulseAlert).

By publishing a ProcessPulseTask BOD you can create a new task in the Activities engine. The task is created and an AcknowledgePulseTask is sent in reply.
