You process work items by completing tasks. Some tasks are
mandatory (main tasks) while others are optional. You can execute both optional
and main tasks from the
Work Item Detail panel.
To execute a task on a work item from the Work Item Detail panel:
-
If you want to execute the main task, click on the
Execute button (
) on the
Work Item Detail panel, and proceed to step
3.
-
If you want to execute an optional task, click on the
Optional Tasks tab and click on the
Execute button ()
corresponding to the task you want to run.
- Input the data or perform the steps required by the task. Some tasks, particularly optional tasks, may simply give you information and require no input on your part.
The task will be complete. If it was an optional task, it may still be available to execute (some optional tasks can be executed more than once). If it was a required task, the system may send the work item to the next task, removing it from your Inbox. If all required tasks are complete, and Oracle BPM did not send the work item, then you have to send the work item manually.
