Task Flow in Oracle HRMS

Task flow is a key feature provided by Oracle HRMS to group related windows or forms to perform a task.
For example, to hire an employee, you need to go from the People window, to the Address window, to the Special Information window, to the Assignment window, and so on. You can link these windows together using a task flow so that users can choose a button to bring up each window in appropriate sequence without returning to the menu.

You can create taskflow using the following methods:
1.Using Forms
2. Using Work Flow tool

Defining Task Flow Using Forms

• Create Task Flow Nodes using Define Task Flow Node Window.
• Create Task Flows using Define Task Flow Window.
• You can also query and copy and existing task flow and customize it by saving it in different name. Oracle provides many pre defined task flows like Benefit WorkBench for the purpose.

Remember:

• Only certain windows are valid first windows.Following are a list of the windows you can choose as the first window in your task flow:
  • A Maintenance window created from a People Management template
  • People and Assignment (PERWSHRG)
  • People (PERWSEPI)
  • People Folder (PERWSFPE)
  • Assignments Folder (PERWSFAS)
