You can use the Task Information widget
to create both one-off tasks from a task definition and free-form
tasks where you create the form for the task request.
About this task
In some
situations you might need to request someone else to do work for you,
and this work is not covered by any of the task definitions that are
available to you. In these cases, you can create a form directly in
the Task Information widget, to request the work.
Complete
the following actions to create a free-form task to request work.
Procedure
Select Free Form from
the list of task types.
Complete the general information for the task, such as
assigning a priority, due date, recipient, and task name.
Create the form for the work request. The icons
in the form palette represent the fields that you can add to your
form, for example, date fields, number fields, and text fields.
Add a field to the form. Select the appropriate
icon and drag it onto the form.
Enter a label for the field. The label is
what the recipient of the task sees when they open the task.
Optional: Specify that the recipient of
the task must complete a field by selecting the Required check
box for the field.
To move a field in the form, select the field and drag
it to a new position.
Optional: Save the form for completion later. If you need to interrupt your work, you can save your form by
clicking Save as draft.
Note: After you save
the form, you cannot change the structure of the form. You can, however,
change the content of the fields.
When your form is complete, click Submit.
Results
The task is sent to the recipient and it is added to your
tasks list.
