What You Need to Know When Acting on Tasks in Process Workspace

3-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Process Management ■ Parallel tasks are created when a parallel flow pattern is specified for scenarios such as voting. In this pattern, the parallel tasks have a common parent. The parent task is visible to a user only if the user is an assignee or an owner or creator of the task. The parallel tasks themselves referred to as subtasks are visible to whomever the task is assigned, just like any other task. You can view the subtasks from a parent task. In such a scenario, the task details page of the parent task contains a View SubTasks button. The SubTasks page lists the corresponding parallel tasks. In a voting scenario, if any of the assignees updates the payload, comments or attachments, the changes are visible only to the assignee of that task. A user who can view the parent task such as the final reviewer of a parallel flow pattern, can drill down to the subtasks and view the updates made to the subtasks by the participants in the parallel flow. In the worklist, you provide the percentage of votes required for approval. ■ If a human task was set up to require a password, then when you act on it, you must provide the password.
