AW: Task Grouping

[Rickayzen, Alan]

I had some mail gateway problems so David got his answer out before I =
could
transmit mine.
Basically my answer is the same as David's, but in a lot more words!
Still, I'll send it anyway.

Yes, you can add the 4 tasks used by the 4 steps to one task group. To =
do=20
this you simply create the task group and insert the 4 tasks into this=20
group. When you save it you will see the number of the task group (E.g. =
 
TG90000001).  One limitation is that you can only add tasks of type TS, =
WS=20
or TG to a task group.=20
 
Now you can use this task group in SWI1, SWI2 or any of standard work =
item
analysis reports.=20
 
I also recommend creating task groups simply to document which =
workflows=20
belong to a particular business process. Sometimes, this is not always =
clear
 
and often during workflow development the tasks change as old flow=20
definitions are scrapped and new ones created. However my task group =
always=20
reflects the current status (a sort of catalogue). I don't add subflows =
or=20
tasks included in workflows because these can be navigated to from the =
task=20
group (via the flow definition).

This is one of the things we talked about in the spring ASUG =
conference.=20

Hi Simon
 
Task Groups (TG) are a nice way to group together the workflow tasks =
and
templates that you are interested in. It makes it easier to find them. =
They
were first introduced in 4.5A.

I require to report on four activity steps in one workflow definition, =
I
have found a field "Task Group" in transaction SWI2 - Work Item =
Analysis.
Can I group the four activity steps into one group and then report on =
all
four steps in the one report and if so, how do I group the tasks?
 
Thank you in advance
