Each assignment in a flow has a type, based on the standard activity that creates the assignment. You select a standard activity when you define the routing options for an assignment in Process Modeler or Case Designer.
The following assignment types are supported:
Connect – Creates an assignment that waits for an external system to perform some processing before moving to the next step in the flow.
This assignment type is available in Process Modeler only and is supported by the Assignment Service shape.
Dependency – Creates an assignment that waits for an event to occur, such as the creation of another case.
This assignment type is available in Process Modeler only.
As a best practice, use the Wait shape instead of a dependency assignment because it supports more options.
External – Uses the Directed Web Access feature to create an external assignment.
This assignment type is available in Process Modeler only.
Work queue – Creates an assignment that can be routed to a work queue that is shared by multiple users.
This assignment type is available in Process Modeler and Case Designer.
Worklist – Creates an assignment that can be routed to the worklist of a user.
This assignment type is available in Process Modeler and Case Designer.
