A decision task is a shape on a flow rule that references a rule of one of three types:

• A map value rule (Rule-Obj-MapValue rule type)
• A decision tree rule (Rule-Declare-DecisionTree rule type)
• A decision table rule (Rule-Declare-DecisionTable rule type)

At runtime, the system evaluates the decision rule to determine how a work object progresses through the flow. The work object progresses along one of the connectors leading from this shape, depending on the outcome of the decision rule.

On the Diagram tab of a flow rule, a diamond shape () identifies a decision task.
