Copy manual task
In WorkFusion platform, you can save time and effort by re-using previously created Tasks and Business Processes.
note
Tasks with the same name have a common template (Definition) - if you modify the design or parameters of one Task and save it, all other Tasks with the same name will be affected.
Tags are unique for each Task, hence you can use different Tags to distinguish Tasks among the Tasks with the same name (of the same Definition).
You can copy a Task by selecting Copy in the Actions dropdown.
tip
If you have copied a Task with the Create an independent task option selected - a new Task instance is created in WorkFusion, and it will not be linked to its source Task.
