Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for dynamically allocating tasks. Using the methods and apparatus herein, users can dynamically assign tasks to roles within a workflow process. This allows business process designers to easily create tasks and define roles for those tasks.
Claims24
A method for dynamically allocating tasks, the method comprising:
- creating a role, wherein the role contains a member;
- creating a workflow activity;
- creating a task, wherein the task is associated with the workflow activity;
- assigning the task to the role;
- executing the workflow;
- creating a context grid based on the task and the role;
- using the context grid to allocate the task to the role;
- resolving the member to the role;
- receiving a task completion from the member;
- and
- removing the task from the role.
