When you add a step to a Human task, you identify the users who can work on the step and you set the duration of the step. Use the Properties view to configure a step.
You configure the following options for the step:
General. Sets the name and text description for the step.
Participants. Specifies the users who will work on the tasks that the Data Integration Service creates for the step.
Permissions. Specifies permissions on task data and metadata. The permissions apply to the users who will work on the tasks for the step.
Configuration. Review steps only. Identifies the Exception step or Cluster step that users will review.
Timeout. Sets the time frame within which all users must complete task instances for the current step. You set the timeout value as a period of minutes, hours, and days. The timeout period begins when the workflow runs.
The Human task uses the timeout period to calculates a deadline for all task instances associated with the step. A user who performs a task instance sees the deadline date and time and not the timeout period.
Notifications. Identifies the users who can be notified when a task instance associated with the step changes status.
