Defining the Task of a Grab Activity

You might need to define a main task to allow the user running the Grab activity to make changes to the instance data. If appropriate you might define optional tasks to help the user run the main task.

There are different options to implement the tasks of a Grab activity. Each option addresses specific types of interaction.

The tasks of a Grab activity can have the following implementation types:

Method
Component
Screenflow
External
Input
Display

The default implementation type is method.

For more information about the different implementation types, see Flow Object Tasks.

Optional Tasks

You can run optional tasks while you are running the main task of a Grab activity. These tasks are usually related to the main task. They provide information that you might need to complete the Grab activity.

Optional tasks are repeatable and read-only. They are not allowed to modify the instance information because this information is used by the main task.
