Use tasks in workflows

Workflow Manager のライセンスで利用可能。

Workflow Manager (Classic) and tasks are both designed to help organizations meet their business goals. While Workflow Manager (Classic) is designed to coordinate and manage a workforce using jobs that straddle multiple users and roles, tasks are designed to support a single user more efficiently and guide them through a repeatable process. Although Workflow Manager (Classic) and tasks can be used independently of each other, Workflow Manager (Classic) provides custom steps to open a task file only or open task files while opening a map. As a Workflow Manager (Classic) administrator you can store the task file to the Workflow Manager (Classic) database you are connected to in the project. The tasks stored in the Workflow Manager (Classic) database may be opened using a Workflow Manager (Classic) OpenTask step as part of a workflow.
