Create Operation from task and Business Process

Operations serve as the foundation for both tasks and Bot Configurations. They describe the workflow of a particular Business Process and thus serve as a template to create Manual and Bot Tasks based on that workflow.

For Manual Tasks, Operations simplify task creation by having predefined questions, answers, instructions, and sample input files.

For Bot Tasks, Operations simplify development by providing a baseline of the configuration code.

  • When you create a task or a Business Process from an Operation, all its properties are copied.
  • When you edit a task, the changes do not affect its Operation.
  • When you edit an Operation, the changes do not affect tasks or Business Processes created from this Operation.
