Who is assigned to a task

Question

Is there a way to query up who is assigned to a particular task? I've got a process report, but I'd like to somehow pull the assignee for a particular task out of that for use elsewhere. What is the best way to do that?

Hi Marco 
 We can create query process analytics to query the data from the process report. Through this we can apply filters and query particular details similar to query entity 
 Please refer the link below

 Thanks,

Process Reports are stored as a special type of Document. Thus you'd make a constant of type "document" and set it to point to the process report document.

Process / Task Reports are one of the last vestiges of really, really legacy functionality within Appian. That's my best guess as far as explaining this discrepancy. 
 I'm not sure what you mean by "static" exactly - if you edit and then save changes to a report, the document object itself is updated (so you don't need to make special efforts to worry about versioning, etc). I assume that means the answer to your last question is "yes", if I'm understanding you correctly.

Process reports reflect live data. The only time you need to change them is if you want to add new columns or change the behavior of existing columns, etc.

Marco said: if I use any other context, I get the following error 
 IIRC there are different types of primitive report and each one only takes the specific type of context that it can handle. A process model report only takes "list of process model". A task report takes "user", etc. 
 Context is not what you should be doing to filter - the context should be everything the report will take into consideration. Filtering should be done in your query itself.
