# Tasks

Tasks are the center of the Process Mapping module and are quite easy to setup. This portion of the documentation will take you over *"Creating", "Editing", "Moving"* and *"Duplicating"* Tasks. Below is a bit about the visual representations of tasks in the "Task Map".

#### **Task Types**

Our task system allows you to have 3 different types of tasks, these are *"Automated", "Manual"* and *"Hybrid".* When viewing the process map each type of task is denoted with a different Icon as shown above.

#### Task Dependency

<figure><img src="https://109694129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZBOZTYAsip36aFrheb90%2Fuploads%2F7YQjEvvtBhWsSwWfTvmM%2FTaskDependency.png?alt=media&amp;token=fc0e4af7-b1e3-48e8-b865-9abca32cae1e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For every task you have the option to add a *"Task Dependency"* which is basically a way of telling people what task needs to be done before this one can start. Every Dependency also shows with the respective process that it is linked too.

#### Connected Departments / Systems

<figure><img src="https://109694129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZBOZTYAsip36aFrheb90%2Fuploads%2FoPEgCZiUkE2yXd6l7XqC%2FConnectedSystemsDepartents.png?alt=media&amp;token=818c8290-0c82-48a8-9aeb-aa68e1c4a154" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When creating tasks you are able to select up to 5 Departments and Systems to be connected to the task. You also have the option to say that those Departments use a specific process to complete the task, in this case "Accounts Payable" and "Logistics" departments use the process "Driver Certification & Licensing" and require the "Oracle" and "SAP" systems to complete this task/process.

#### Decisions

Decisions are a task that allows you to choose which task it should logically flow through to depending on a Yes/No decision.

### Task Type

\* means a required field

* \*Task Name (Text): Can be any text
* \*Task Description (Text): Can be any text
* \*Task Type (Selection): Select between *"Automated", "Manual"* or *"Hybrid"*
* Task Dependency (Task): Search for a valid [Tasks](/oconect/setup-guides/process-mapping/tasks.md) within the process map that you are editing
* Task Order (Number): Number between 1 and the last task in the list
* Connected Departments (Departments)\[5]: Select up to 5 valid departments
* Connected Systems (Systems)\[5]: Select up to 5 valid systems
* Linked Process (Process): Searches for a valid {Process}
* Is A Decision (Yes/No): Select if this task is part of a decision

*If "Is A Decision" is "No" then this part is irrelevant*

* \*Decision Description (Text): Can be any text
* \*Yes Task (Task): Search for a valid [Tasks](/oconect/setup-guides/process-mapping/tasks.md)
* \*No Task (Task): Search for a valid [Tasks](/oconect/setup-guides/process-mapping/tasks.md)
