Step 8. Configure display settings

Step 8. Configure display settings

On the
Display Settings
tab of the human task asset, you define the settings that the task uses in the Human Task Inbox. You can specify properties such as the display name for the task, task subject, and task description.
You can use a guide rendering method or default rendering method to display the fields in the Human Task inbox. If you choose a guide as a rendering method, the task uses the screens defined in the guide to display the fields. If you do not choose a guide as a rendering method in the
Guide
field, the task will use the default rendering method to display the fields in the Human Task Inbox.
There are two ways in which you can use the guide rendering method for the human task. You can either select a guide or generate a new guide that the task must use for rendering in the Human Task Inbox. If you click
Browse
, you can select an existing guide in Application Integration. However, the input fields, output fields, and outcomes of the selected guide must match the values that you specify in the human task asset.
You can create a new guide by clicking
Generate
. With this feature, you can generate a guide with pre-populated values in the input fields, output fields, and outcomes based on the values that you define in the asset. You can further configure, save, and publish the guide to use it in the human task.
When you generate a new guide, the output field will not appear as mandatory in the guide designer even if you have selected the
Required
field for the output field in the human task asset. You will be able to complete the task successfully and continue with the next step in the process even if you do not provide a value for a required output field.
  1. Click the
    Display Settings
    tab.
    The following image shows the

  2. Enter a name for the human task that the process generates. Optionally, you can select the value by clicking the Expression Editor icon next to the
    Task Name
    field.
  3. Enter the task subject that must be displayed in the Human Task Inbox. Optionally, you can select the value by clicking the Expression Editor icon next to the
    Subject
    field.
  4. Optionally, enter the task description that must appear in the Human Task Inbox. You can also select the value by clicking the Expression Editor icon next to the
    Description
    field.
  5. Optionally, select an existing guide or generate a new guide that you want to map to the human task in the
    Guide
    field. Click the
    Generate
    button and click
    OK
    on the confirmation message to generate a new guide.
  6. You can further configure the guide as per the requirement. After you have generated a new guide, you must save and publish the new guide to use it in the human task. Any error that occurs during the guide generation will appear as a validation error in the human task asset.
