Specifying task completion properties

This step is optional and applies to steps of type task and task chain. Completion properties cannot be collected for parallel task.

You can specify task completion properties to collect this information:

  • The user that completed a task
  • The date and time the task was completed
  • The final status of the task
  • The activity ID that was generated for this task

To collect this information, you require workflow parameters of the applicable data type for each property.

  1. Click the Completion Properties tab.
  2. Specify this information:
    User
    If this check box is selected, you must select a workflow parameter from the list. The person ID of the user that completed a Task is stored in the selected workflow parameter. You can only select parameters of type String and User.
    Time Stamp
    If this check box is selected, you must select a workflow parameter from the list. The time information about when a Task was completed is stored in the selected workflow parameter. You can only select parameters of type Date And Time.
    Status
    If this check box is selected, you must select a workflow parameter of type String from the list. The final status of the task is stored in the selected workflow parameter. If this task is part of a task chain, then the status is from the last task in the chain. If the task was completed by a user, the value is DONE. If the task was automatically canceled by the system according to the configuration in the Escalation and Reminders tab, the value is CANCELLED.
    ID
    If this check box is selected, you must select a workflow parameter of type Integer from the list. The activity ID that was generated for this task is stored in the selected workflow parameter. If this task is part of a Task Chain, then the ID is from the last task in the chain.
    Note: To return Task completion information when a workflow is completed, mark the parameters that are used to collect this information as output parameters.
