In-Depth Information
The Human task component clients should build a UI to represent this information for
many tasks at a time; they should do this to let the users decide which task to work on.
This view, whether you use KIE Workbench or a custom UI, should be generic enough to
show information of any kind of tasks. However, when we have to work on a specific
task, standardization becomes complicated, and specialization is what we will need for
each specific task. To provide said specialization for each task type at a time, we will use
task forms.
A
Tasks List
screen looks like the following screenshot in KIE Workbench, where we can
see some of the properties we previously mentioned:
Task forms
Once we are able to view, discriminate, and prioritize the pending tasks, we need a way to
work with the full representation of each task, one task at a time.
Each type of task needs to have a different task form that enables user interaction. These
forms can be created from the process designer's contextual menu in KIE Workbench.
This menu will allow us to create and edit both the forms used by User tasks as well as the
form that can be used to create a new process instance, as we can see in the following
screenshot:
