Defining Task Rules
When Task Rules Execute
Task rules can not be manually run by the user. Task rules can only execute when a task is created within
Process Orchestrator processes and rule conditions are met. If the task-created trigger (for any task type)
and rule conditions are met, the action of the task rule is executed in the order in which it is listed in the
Definitions—Task Rules view.
