Create a task group

If you want to create a new task group based on a task group template, refer to Create a task group from a template.

Before creating a task group, have a workspace created. Task groups are created in workspaces.

To create a task group:

1. Open the Workspace Administration Tool.

2. Select Workspaces > Manage workspaces.

3. On the Workspaces page, select the workspace to which the task group will belong.

4. Click New task group.

5. Select Recurring if you want a new identical task group to be created after this task group moves into complete state. Otherwise, select Single-use.

   Do not select Recurring if you are creating a task group in a single-use workspace. Creating a recurring task group in a single-use workspace prevents the single-use workspace from completing.

6. (Optional) Select Quick publish if you want the file and data changes in this task group to be published to production as soon as all tasks are marked complete and all approvals are satisfied.

   Quick publish is not supported in WebSphere Commerce Developer.

7. (Optional) In the Due date field, enter a day, month, and year for the task group to be completed. This field is for your information only. WebSphere Commerce does not perform any actions based on this date.

8. (Optional) Add task group approvers. To add an approver, select an approver in the Available approvers list and click Add approvers.

9. (Optional) Specify task group names and descriptions:

   1. Select the language for the name and description.

   2. Type the new name or description for the selected language. If you do not specify a name for the task, the system generated task group code will be displayed for users using the selected language.

   3. Repeat steps a and b for other languages, if required.

10. Click OK.

11. Create all tasks in the task group.

12. (Optional) If you want to reuse this task group and the tasks it contains in any workspace, create a task group template from this task group.

13. Activate the task group.
