20.16.1 Example: Creating a Human Task from a Form Submission

You can configure both approval and action tasks, collectively known as human tasks, as page processes that can run upon submission of a form.

This example uses the Sample Workflows, Approvals, and Tasks application, which you can install from the Gallery. This example demonstrates how to set up the process that initiates a job change approval task when a user submits the Request Job Change form.

To create approval tasks when the Request Job Change form is submitted:

  1. Open 7 - Request Job Change in Page Designer.
  2. Open the Processing tab.
  3. Right-click Processing and select Create Process.
  4. Under Identification:
    1. Name - Submit Task
    2. Type - Human Task - Create
  5. Under Settings:
    1. Definition - Job Change
    2. Details Primary Key Item - P7_EMPNO
  6. Under Execution Options:
    1. Sequence - 20
    2. Point - Processing
    3. Run Process - Once Per Page Visit (Default)
  7. Under Server-side Condition:
    1. When Button Pressed - SUBMIT_FOR_APPROVAL
    2. Type - Leave as - Select -
  8. Set the Page Process Parameters.
    1. On the Processing tab, under Submit Task, expand Parameters.
    2. Select New Job.
    3. Under Value, select Item.
    4. Set Item to P7_PROPOSED_JOB.
  9. Click Save.
APEX creates an approval task when a user submits the Request Job Change form.

Note:

You can use the same steps to create an action task from a form submission.
