How to Implement an Assignment Service

To implement an assignment service:

  1. Implement the assignment service with the IAssignmentService interface. The human workflow service passes the following information to the assignment service to determine the task assignment:

    • Task document

      The task document that is executed by the human workflow. The task document contains the payload and other task information like current state, and so on.

    • Map of properties

      When an assignment service is specified, a list of properties can also be specified to correlate callbacks with back-end services that determine the task assignees.

    • Task history

      The task history is a list of chronologically-ordered task documents to trace the history of the task. The task documents in this list contain a subset of attributes in the actual task (such as state, updatedBy, outcome, updatedDate, and so on).
