In Process Automation, task management is an important module used for creating, assigning, tracking and completing tasks in business processes. Task management ensures that the workflow proceeds smoothly by determining which actions users and the system should take at certain steps. With this module, it is ensured that tasks are assigned to the right people, completed within the specified timeframes and that the workflow proceeds according to the planned steps.
Creating Tasks

- System Tasks: Create Tasks in the Process Automation module are tasks that the system performs automatically, without user intervention. For example, operations such as sending an e-mail or updating certain data fall into this category.
