About Tasks
A task is a plug-in or a block that is used to build PReS Workflow processes. Tasks can do multiple things
depending on the type of task and where they are placed. You can add as many tasks as you like to your
processes and order them in any way you can.
There are different types of tasks:
l Input Task:Will either capture data from a specific location, or wait for input from a service or other
computer to start processing.
l Action Task:Will manipulate the data in any number of ways. An action task is any task that is not an
input or output task or a branch or condition.
l Output Task:Will output data to a specific location or send to a different service or computer.
Some tasks have a multipurpose and can be used as either an input, action or output task or any
combination. These multipurpose tasks are indicated as such in the task description and can be found in the
most relevant section of the available tasks.
