You can now create and assign adhoc human tasks in runtime environment without the prerequisite of modeling and deploying process applications. A typical use case in a document management system is when a document is uploaded, you can create an adhoc task and assign to a user for review comments. Adhoc tasks are not associated with any structured or dynamic process. You can define possible outcomes, and include information such as due date, priority, title, summary, and assignee details. After it is created, the assignee is notified, and the task appears in the assignee's list of tasks. The following new APIs have been added: |
Members |
Members are dynamically assigned users to a specific process instance. You can add, delete or update members in a process instance. Members do not require roles to work in an instance. You cannot add members to child instances and child adhoc tasks. You can give any of the available permissions like INSPECT, READ, USE or MANAGE to members so that they can work in the assigned process instance. If a member is added to a parent process instance, the child process instance also inherits the members. The following new APIs have been added: |
