Completion tab: Human Task editor

This topic includes a description of each of the fields on the Completion tab of the Properties view of the human task editor. This tab is available when you select Potential owners for a parallel ownership task.

End the task based on the time that elapsed since it was created

Select this check box if you want to set a time-limit for completion of the task. The time is measured from the instant that the task is created. The task completes when the specified time has elapsed, unless another completion criterion is reached sooner.

The type of calendar that you are employing is displayed. See related topics for information on how to modify the calendar type.

Enter the date using one of these two options:

  • In the upper fields use the arrows to set the number of Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

  • In the lower field you can enter a time in the format 5d12h30m10s, where d represents days, h hours, m minutes and s seconds.

Select the radio button corresponding to which date entry format you prefer to use.

End task when the following condition is met

Select this check box if you want to set a completion criterion other than elapsed time. Your condition can be based on the number of responses received, the nature of the responses received or a combination of the two. A response corresponds to a completed subtask.

Expression language

Choose a language to use to compose the completion criterion expression. Select either Simple condition or XPath 1.0. If you choose XPath 1.0, use the XPath expression builder to compose the completion criteria. See related topics for more information on the XPath expression builder.

Condition

When you select Simple condition several pre-defined conditions are provided for your use. Click Select Template to see the following list:

  • Percentage of workers - the task will be considered complete when a percentage of task owners have completed their subtasks. You can select the percentage of workers who must be finished before the task ends.

  • One disapproval - a task which requires every owner to approve can be considered complete if a single owner disapproves. If any owner responds with False, this is taken to be a disapproval.

  • One approval - a task which requires only that one owner approves can be considered complete as soon as such a response is received.

    If any owner responds with True, this is taken to be an approval.

  • Percentage of approval - If a certain percentage of responders responses evaluate to true then the task can be stopped.
  • Majority reached - if a majority of potential owners returns the same response then the task can be stopped. This option is useful when a decision is to be reached by a vote.
