Action tasks
Use action tasks in PReS Workflow to perform a wide variety of operations. PReS Workflow
includes more Action tasks then Input and Output tasks combined. Action tasks can even be
used to input data and to output data.
The difference between an Action task and an Input task is that an Action task can never be the
first task of a process. In the same fashion, the difference between an Action task and an Output
task, is that an Action task can never appear at the end of a process. In other words, Action
tasks are always placed between other tasks.
