Overview and example use case

What can I do with Tasklist?​

Tasklist shows you all user tasks that appeared in processes; those processes are running in Zeebe.

User tasks need an interaction from the user. This can be updating, adding variables, filling out a Camunda Form, or simply completion of the task. The user must first claim a task or unclaim an already claimed task.

If the user claimed a task, the task can be completed. Different task status filters help the user choose the desired task.

Example use case​

If you've successfully logged in, you'll see a screen similar to the following:

tasklist-start-screen

On the left side of the screen, you can see tasks. On the right side of the screen, you can see details of the current selected task.

Change the list of tasks by applying filters. You can also collapse and expand the task list.

You can choose which tasks you want to see:

  • All open
  • Claimed by me
  • Unclaimed
  • Completed

Initially, we have no Claimed by me tasks.
