timedWorkflowTask

Forms: Timed Task

If triggered, a Timed Transition creates a Timed Task. For each Timed Task, information is shown across a main Details tab, a Description tab and, optionally, across tabs with an Error Message and the Error Message Details - these appear if an error has occurred when raising the task.

Form: Timed Task Details

The following fields are configured on the main form:

Field Description
Task Id Read only: the Id assigned to the workflow task.
Alarm Id Read only: the Alarm Id that generated the workflow task.
Trigger Date/Time The date and time the timed task was triggered.
Created Date Read only: the date the workflow task was created.
Last Updated Read only: the date on which any of the workflow task details were last updated.
Completed Read only: the date on which the workflow task was completed (null if not completed).
Workflow Read only: The Workflow model this task belongs to.
Transition Read only: the transition that generated the workflow task.
Alarm Generator Read only: the Alarm Generator that generated the Alarm that generated the workflow task.

Form Icons

The form provides the standard form icons as well as the following:

Resume workflow. This can be used if an error has occurred when raising this task, the underlying cause of the error has been resolved - and processing the workflow can be re-started.

Shows the details of the alarm that generated the workflow task.

Form: Description

The output from the Task Description Expression in the Timed Transition that generated this task.

Form: User Task Error Message

This tab will only appear if there has been an error when raising the task. This can happen if, for example, there is a problem when evaluating the expression on a Workflow Transition or an Arc Guard. The tab will, in this case, contain the error message.

Form: User Task Error Message Details

This tab will only appear if there has been an error when raising the task. The tab will, in this case, contain the data being processed when the task was raised.

List: User Task List

The Timed Task list shows all timed tasks that have been generated in PhixFlow.

The Timed Task list can be ordered by pressing on the header bar of the column that you wish to sort by. To reverse the sort order, press the header bar again.

The Timed Task list can be filtered using the icon. Select an existing filter from the drop down list or create a new one to filter the list.

You can open the details of an individual timed task by double clicking on a row.

Columns

The timed Task List shows a subset of the fields defined on the Timed Task form above.

Context Menu

By right-clicking on an task in the task list, you will bring up the context menu. In addition to standard items in this menu, from a task list you can select the option to Resume Workflow. This can be used if there has been an error when raising the task, the underlying problem has been resolved - and you want to re-start the workflow.

List Icons

The Timed Task List provides the standard list icons.
