Map a dspConduct™ Task to a Task Imported from IGC™

After a task has been created and published in IGC™ and imported into dspConduct™, a Process Designer must map at least one dspConduct™ task to it.

An IGC™ task can have multiple dspConduct™ tasks assigned.

An IGC™ task can be mapped to:

NOTE: To create a new dspConduct™ task based on a new page in the Content WebApp, a user must be assigned to the Power Designer and Designer roles in System Administration and the Administrator role in the Content WebApp assigned to that category.

Before performing these steps, Set Up a Category from IGC™ in dspConduct™ if needed.

NOTE: When a Post role is imported into dspConduct™, if the role has no IGC™ tasks assigned to it one dspConduct™ generic Post task is created for the Post role.

After mapping is complete, pages in dspConduct™ update to reflect the mappings. If existing dspConduct™ task(s) have been mapped to an IGC™ task, the Role Task page(s) and the Scenario Role Task page(s) update to reflect these mappings. If an IGC™ task is mapped to a new dspConduct™ task, the Task page is updated.

NOTE: To view the roles to which the selected IGC™ task is assigned, click the Roles button on the IGC Task page. From there, after a task is assigned to the role, click the Where Used icon to view the scenarios and business processes that use the role task.

Map an IGC™ Task to An Existing dspConduct™ Task

After an IGC™ task is imported into dspConduct™ for the first time, it must be mapped to an existing dspConduct™ task. If the task is republished in IGC™ and imported again, the task mapping is not updated. If the IGC™ task is deleted in IGC™, the mapping is removed, but the dspConduct™ task is not otherwise affected. If the task is deleted in the Content WebApp, the IGC™ task must be mapped to another dspConduct™ task.

To map an IGC™ task to an existing dspConduct™ task:

  1. Click dspConduct > Design in the Navigation pane.
  2. Click the IGC Tasks icon for the category.
  3. Click the Use Existing Tasks icon.

  4. Select the name of the dspConduct™ task in the TASK ID list box.

    NOTE: The list box displays tasks of the same task type as the IGC™ task selected on the IGC Task page. If the IGC™ task is a Post type task, the delivered tasks Request Post and Request Post Workflow Notification are also available.

  5. Click Save.

NOTE: If an error has occurred in the framework while attempting to map the IGC™ task to the existing dspConduct™ task an error message displays and the PUBLISHED field is unchecked. Click the log link in the error message for more information.

Map an IGC™ Task to a New Task Based on an Existing Page in the Content WebApp

A page that has been created in the Content WebApp can be mapped to an imported IGC™ task. If the task is republished in IGC™ and imported again, the task mapping is not updated. If the IGC™ task is deleted in IGC™, the mapping is removed, but the dspConduct™ task is not otherwise affected. If the page is deleted in the Content WebApp, the IGC™ task must be mapped to another dspConduct™ task.

To map an IGC™ task to a new task based on a page that exists in the Content WebApp:

  1. Select dspConduct > Design in the Navigation pane.
  2. Click the IGC Tasks icon for the category.
  3. Click the Create New Task icon for the IGC™ task.

  4. Enter a description of the task in the DESCRIPTION field, or retain the default (the name of the IGC™ task).

    NOTE: It is recommended to give the task a unique name to identify it.

  5. Enter a comment about the task in the COMMENT field, if needed.
  6. Enter instructions in the INSTRUCTIONS field, if needed.
  7. Click Save.
