Process Control › Assign User Task Operator

Assign User Task Operator

The Assign User Task operator displays a CA Process Automation interaction request form to prompt a user and waits for input. The last page of an interaction request form dialog prompts the user to approve or reject the interaction request form. You can specify a time-out or can wait indefinitely. The user input values are saved to variables in the Assign User Task operator dataset.

You can also use the Assign User Task operator to notify a user to respond to a specific task through an embedded URL.

The Assign User Task operator has four standard (noncustomized) exit links:

Completed

Processed when a user does the following things:

• Successfully completes the interaction request form.
• Approves the user prompt on the last page of the interaction request form.

The parameter values are assigned to operator dataset variables. The Result variable is set to “1” and the Reason variable is set to “COMPLETED.” The task displays in the Task List on the Operations tab with a state of "Completed."

Canceled

Processed when:

• A process has an Assign User Task operator running, and the task shows up in the Task List and is waiting for a user to respond. Before anyone responds, the process encounters a Stop Failure operator (typically because another path in the process is still running while the Assign User Task is waiting for user response). 
• The Assign User Task operator is aborted (manually or because the process ended while the operator was still running).
• A process is suspended and the Assign User Task operator aborted the task.
• A process is suspended and the Assign User Task operator is reset (manually or automatically).
• A process execution bypasses the selection made in the user prompt (in the Form Disposition field).

The Result variable is set to "-1" and the Reason variable is set to CANCELED. In each case, the task displays in the Task List on the Operations tab with a state of "Canceled."

Timeout

Processed if the user does not complete the interaction request form within an optionally specified time-out interval. Any parameter values are assigned to operator dataset variables. The Result variable is set to “-1” and the Reason variable is set to “TIMEOUT.” The task displays in the Task List on the Operations tab with a state of "Timeout."

Rejected

Processed if the user selects Reject at the user prompt (in the Form Disposition field). The Result variable is set to “_” and the Reason variable is set to “REJECTED.” The task displays in the Task List on the Operations tab with a state of "Rejected."
