How to Specify a Task Title

Enter an optional task title. The title defaults to this value only if the initiated task does not have a title set in it. The title provides a visual identifier for the task. The task title displays in Oracle BPM Worklist. You can also search on titles in Oracle BPM Worklist.

To specify a task title:

In the Task Title field of the General section, select a method for specifying a task title:
- Plain Text: Manually enter a name (for example, Vacation Request Approved).
- Text and XPath: Enter a combination of manual text and a dynamic expression. After manually entering a portion of the title (for example, Approval Required for Order Id:), place the cursor one blank space to the right of the text and click the icon to the right of this field. This displays the Expression Builder for dynamically creating the remaining portion of the title. After completing the dynamic portion of the name, click OK to return to this field. The complete name is displayed. For example:
```
Approval Required for Order Id: <%/task:task/task:payload/task:orderId%>
```
  The expression is resolved during runtime with the exact order ID value from the task payload.
- Translation: Click the Lookup button and locate a translation bundle to use to specify the title.
- Resource Xpath: Click the Lookup button and locate a resource bundle to use to specify the title.
If you enter a title in the Task Title field of the General tab of the Create Human Task dialog box described in Specifying the Task Title, the title you enter here is overridden.
