A User Task waits for an external trigger to arrive which is released by human action, for example after a form has been filled. If the process execution reaches a user task, the process stays in a wait state until a specific message is received by the engine, which triggers continuation of the process.
Form: Use the attribute Form in the Attributes Panel to select one of your forms. The drop-down list will contain all forms that are available in the current service. When you select a form, the icon appears. If you click on this icon, the relevant form opens in a new window.
Link: Use the attribute Link in the Attributes Panel to link the element to an external URL or to upload a document and link to it.
Execution
Input: message (default type is Any but you can also use your own Library or Data Model class). If a form is linked to a User Task, in the execution model the form type (read-only) is determined as the type of message.
