Manual Inputs

The Inputs section displays information that requires operator interaction for a task step, such as a manual start or a form submission.If a task is preconfigured to wait for an operator to start it, you must manually start a task step to progress the workflow.

If configured, you can view completed or acquired task forms. When a completed task step is selected, the last submitted form for that task step is shown. If an acquired task step is selected, the currently executing form is shown.
