Tasks filed by workflows

How an automated Rhazes workflow files follow-up tasks linked back to the run and the patient, so nothing it found is lost.

What gets filed

A workflow that finishes with a Create tasks step files one task per item it found. A results sweep that finds four outstanding results files four tasks, not a summary you then have to act on by hand.

They are traceable

A filed task is linked back to the workflow that created it, the run it came from, and the patient it concerns.

That link is what makes automated tasks trustworthy. A task appearing on your list without explanation is noise; one you can open and trace to the run that produced it is evidence.

They are ordinary tasks

Once filed, they behave like any other task. Complete them, re-date them, move them onto a list, or delete them. There is no separate automated-task inbox to check.

They outlive the workflow

Deleting a workflow does not remove the tasks it filed. The follow-up still needs doing whether or not the workflow that spotted it still exists. See Deleting a workflow.

Setting it up

Due dates and the list they land on are configured on the workflow, not here. See Filing tasks from a workflow.
