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.
This section covers all the action tasks available in PReS Workflow.
