Use to edit the basic properties of the notification task. A notification task can be one of these types: Mail, User, SMS, Voice, IM
This topic covers:
Name
Enter a name or accept the default. This becomes the name of the task within your process.
Description
Enter an optional description of this task. Adding a description can make your process more readable.
Is Draft
Select to mark the task object as Draft. A Draft object has a default implementation where data object values can be set, but is considered
to be unimplemented.
Sampling Point
Expand to configure sampling points for this flow object.
Sampling points allow you to generate information about the performance of a flow object in a running process. The data generated according to this configuration is stored in the Process Analytics Database.
You can configure sampling point generation at the following levels:
Sampling point generation specified at the project level is applied to all of the processes within the project. However, you can override project-level settings within a process. Likewise, sampling point generation specified at the process level is applied to all of the flow objects within the process. You can also override process-level settings within each flow object. By default, the project sampling configuration is set to generate sampling points only for interactive activities. More.
Overriding sampling point generation at the project or process level is usually done to improve performance. For example, if your project contains a process that contains a great number of activities and you are not interested in obtaining process metrics for this process, you might choose to set its sampling point configuration so that the process does not generate sampling points. Likewise, if you are interested in measuring only one process within your project, you might choose to set the project not to generate sampling points and configure that particular process to generate sampling points.
By default, the process is set to use the project sampling point configuration. You can also configure one or more of the activities in your process to use a sampling point setting different from the one used in your process. For example, you might choose to set all the gateway activities in your process to not generate sampling points because you consider these metrics do not provide relevant information.
Inherit Process Default
Select to use the default sampling configuration defined at the process level.
Generate
Select to generate sampling point data for this activity. This will override the default configuration defined at the process or project level.
Do not generate
Select to not generate sampling point data. This is primarily used for performance reasons.
