The expression may use any of the data available to the original Alarm Generator, e.g. keyword "_alarmDescription" can been used to simply create a task with a description that matches the original alarm description.
  2. User assigned to the task - as with alarm assigment it is possible to create a list of users with associated expressions, the task is assigned to the first user with an expression which evaluates to true.
