TaskContext

A complex data type that contains information about a task. The User service creates TaskContext values when it creates a task. TaskContext values are passed to Prepare Data services before the task asset is rendered. The values are useful for retrieving information about the task for use in the Prepare Data process. (See About prepare data services .)

For information about data that can be accessed using XPath Expressions, see Data Items .

TaskContext values have no default properties to configure.

Data Items

TaskContext values store the following values. The values represent information about the task with which the TaskContext value is associated.

actionInstanceId

A string value that represents the unique identification of the run-time instance of the service operation that generated the task.

assignedUser

A User value that represents the user who is assigned the task.

assignedUserId

A string value that represents the unique identification of the user who is assigned the task.

classOfTask

A string value that represents the type of task. The following values are valid:

Multi:
The Create Multiple Tasks operation generated the task.

Standard:
The Assign Task operation of the User 2.0 service created the task.

Standard_LC8:
The Assign Task operation of the User 1.0 service created the task. The task is the result of a legacy process that is running in the LiveCycle ES2.5 environment.

createTime

A dateTime value that represents the date and time when the task was created.

description

A string value that represents the text from the Description property of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operation that generated the task.

formURL

A string that represents the path of the application asset that is used with the task. The values of the Presentation And Data properties of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operation that generated the task determine the value of formURL:

  • When the Use An Application Asset option is selected, this value is the path that is specified for the Asset property.

  • When the Use A Document Variable option is selected, this value is null .

inputDocument

A document value that represents the document that is used as the presentation asset for the task. The values of the Presentation And Data properties of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operation that generated the task determine the value of inputDocument:

  • When the Use A Document Variable option is selected, this value is the value of the variable that is specified for the Variable property.

  • When the Use An Application Asset option is selected, this value is null .

isDraft

A boolean value that indicates whether the Workspace user who is assigned the task has saved a draft copy of the task. The value is true if the user has saved a draft copy. The value is false if the user has not saved a draft copy.

isTaskActive

A boolean value that indicates whether the task is active or not. A value of true indicates the task is active. A value of false indicates the task is completed.

processInstanceId

A long value that represents the unique identification of the process instance to which the task belongs.

processName

A string value that represents the name of the process. This value is same as the value of the Name property of the process.

routeList

A string value that represents a comma-separated list of the names of User Actions that are configured for the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operation. For example, if the operation has two User Actions named action1 and action2, the value of routeList is action1,action2 .

runtimeMap

A map of string values that represent run-time information that is provided to Workspace. The map contains the following useful keys:

acrobatVersion:
The version of Acrobat that that the user has installed.

acroClientType:
The client software that the user uses to open PDF documents, such as Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

httpHeaders:
The HTTP headers that are included in the message that is sent to Workspace on the LiveCycle server.

relativeTargetUrl:
The portion of the target URL after the IP address, for example /workspace-server/submit .

targetUrl:
The URL that the HTTP message is submitted to. For example the value of targetURL when submitting to the LiveCycle server on JBoss is http://192.168.0.20:8080/workspace-server/submit .

userAgent:
Information about the browser that is being used to open the task.
Use the runtimeMap data item to pass data from Prepare Data processes to custom Render processes. (See About prepare data services .)

selectedRoute

A string value that represents the name of the User Action that the user selects to complete the task. This value is null until the task is completed.

serverReplyEmail

A string value that represents the email address that is configured for the LiveCycle server.

stepName

A string value that represents the name of the operation on the process diagram that generated the task. This value is the same as the value of the Name property of the operation.

taskId

A long value that represents the unique identification of the task.

taskInstructions

A string value that represents the instructions that are provided with the task. This value is the same as the value of the Task Instructions property of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operation that generated the task.

taskStatus

A short value that represents the status of the task. This read-only value and can be one of the following numbers:

1:
The task has been created.

2:
The task has been created and saved. This status is assigned when a user opens a task from the Start Process page of Workspace and then saves a draft.

3:
The task is assigned to a user.

4:
The user has saved the task as a draft.

100:
The task has been completed.

101:
The task is completed because a deadline occurred.

102:
The task is completed because it was manually terminated using LiveCycle Administration Console.

variationInputs

A map of string values that represent the property-value pairs to use for configuring a Guide variation. The map keys are the names of the variation input properties, and the associated values are the property values. The values are configured in the Presentation and Data properties of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operations. This value is null if no Guide variation is used.

variationName

A string value that represents the name of the Guide variation to use. This value is null if no variation is selected in the Presentation and Data properties of the Assign Task or Assign Multiple Tasks operations.
