A task is the smallest identifiable unit of work in a process, and typically includes inputs and outputs. Sets of tasks chained together in a sequence form a process.
Tasks in a Process
Processes used across industries include common tasks that are typically repetitive in nature. Automate lets you save and repeat these common tasks in endless combinations to form different processes, without changing the configuration of the tasks.
Examples of Tasks
The following table provides examples of processes and their related tasks. The first example includes a simple calculator process followed by three typical Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) processes.
