Each Task Type defines a set of possible actions that can be performed in the task context. Because multiple task types may have the same or similar actions available, the types of actions are defined outside of the context of a task, and are referenced from within the task type definition as described previously.

When you edit a task in the IDD Configuration Manager, in the

Task Configuration

window, you can configure the action types and the next step for each task. When working with a task in the IDD application, only the selected action types will be displayed as a button to the user and the task type selected in the

Next Step

section will be execute the next step in the workflow for that particular action type.

The following table provides the list of action types and its description:
