This feature maps the Task Table Extension columns created by the Administrator to standard Task columns. As a result, the task functionality is expanded to include custom columns and data types. 

You need to navigate to the Manage - Table Extensions page. 

Select Tasks from the drop-down list on the Table Extension page as the item type, then click on the Actions—Create menu option. 

The Property Extension pop-up window appears for configuration. In the text box, enter the name and label information. From the drop-down list, choose the data type (nvarchar, date, datetime, smallint, integer, largeint, bit) and the data size to be stored. Then, select the render type (text, date, datetime, checkbox, drop-down list, textarea) from the drop-down list. Enter the default value in the text box. Specify the default value to be rendered. Check the box to allow users to modify the value. 

To create task mappings, go to the Administration—Table Mappings page and select Actions—Create. 

A pop-up window is displayed for configuration. Select the Task's field column from the drop-down as the source. Next, choose the Task's table extension column as the target, as shown below. Click the Create button to confirm. A confirmation message will appear in the top-right corner. 

In the above example, the regular task input field “WaitForAll” and its mapping field “AutoComplete”  can be further customized.    

To use the task mapping feature, go to the Analytics—Business Intelligence menu option. The page will open in a new tab. Choose the Instance Report type from the drop-down menu. Select any process instance with a regular task step in its workflow from the drop-down list. Click on the Compute Summary button to generate a new BI Report.  

You can scroll sideways to view the task mapping value in this report. 

Edit task mappings.

Select a row from the Task Mappings page list and click on the Actions—Edit menu option. 

The Update Task Field Mapping pop-up window appears for configuration. You can modify the Task Input and Task Extension column mappings by clicking the Update button to save your changes. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. This change in task mappings also applies to existing relations. 

Remove task mappings.

Select a row from the list on the Task Mappings page and click on the Actions—Remove menu option. 

The Remove Task Field Mapping pop-up window appears for confirmation. Click the OK button to continue. The task mapping relation is deleted, and a confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. Any customization based on the task extension column might behave differently, as the task information mapping has been removed.
