About Creating Tasks

Tasks (or workflows) are the primary objects in AWE. A task is a series of steps designed to achieve some result. A task can be built to almost any business process. Tasks can perform file transfers, batch data processing, application testing, email transmissions and much more. A task can be composed of a single step or hundreds of steps. Tasks can be started by a user or set to run automatically when triggered by a particular event.

A task is created in the EFT administration interface by clicking New on the Advanced Workflows node. Priorities, security, error handling, and other properties for the new task can then be set in the Task Builder.

Basic steps of creating a task are:

Giving the task a name.
Selecting actions and assigning properties to make up the steps of the task.
