Task description

Dieppa1 · May 13, 2019, 12:13pm

Hi,

we have the need to provide description for each task within a process. I was wondering if there is any standard way of doing it. For example providing a description in the actual process as label or something, so the users can see what every step means.

Thanks

Hi @Dieppa1

You can define task description

https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.6/reference/bpmn20/tasks/user-task/#description

And user can view it from tasklist app (by opening the description tab of the user form)

Hi @Dieppa1,

It’s part of each element in the property panel of the modeler: (See the bottom of the image)

Hope this helps, Ingo

Thanks everyone.

another quick question? In the documentation property we’d like to have a clickable link, but we don’t see how we can do that. Is there a way of doing it?

It is a text property… not html… so you couldn’t add links…
