Add a People activity to the process or a scope from the BPMN palette, as shown in the example. The activities in red squares are for task-type People activities and the ones in blue circles are for notification types.

Fill in the required properties from the People Activity's Properties view. Note that you must create an inline task (or notification) or select a local task (or notification). For details, see

Required and Optional Properties of a People Activity

.

You may create either a People Activity of Guide Designer User task:

The left tabs are the same for both kinds of activities. However, the contents of the People Activity and Assignment tabs differ slightly. If you choose Guide Designer, the Input and Output tabs may have values set when you associate a guide with this user task. (See

Using Guide Designer User Tasks

for more information.)
