Introduction
Using Kinetic Task v4.x. Basic tree creation, including approvals.
Terms
Task Engine
The Task Engine is a processing engine that takes input from applications and walks through a predefined set of tasks also know as a task tree. Tasks can perform data lookups, add approvals, create entries in other systems, send notifications and much more.
Task Builder
Graphical process builder that allows configuration and sequencing of tasks.
Task Handler
Standalone collection of code designed to perform a business task. Task Handlers take parameters, return results and can throw exceptions in the event of an error.
Pre-made Task Handlers are available from the Kinetic Task Community website.
Task Node (also referred to as a Task)
Configured parameters applied to a specific instance of a Task Handler on a task tree.
Connector
Link between two task nodes. Can have logic applied to limit processing.
Task Tree
A Task Tree is a process defined by nodes and connectors. It can be called/run from an external application. It can accept inputs and reference values from the external application.
Class Design
The majority of this class shows Kinetic Task interacting with Kinetic Request.
Kinetic Task works with a wide variety of other applications, but our training environment is best suited (already installed) with Kinetic Request.
