Quick Task example

hi danielg424213  Quick Tasks are useful for completing ad-hoc tasks in process, and for enabling additional related actions on a Process-backed record. They were more relevant in Appian before the introduction of Records, but have a few use cases in the latest Appian versions.Quick tasks will not show up as tasks in Tempo->Tasks. Some designers use this behavior to hide tasks in a workflow, but they must take care to close these tasks appropriately.

HI Karumuru Abhishek 

Can you please explain me this is brief with the example, It is quite confusing for me, as i am not aware on the old Appian design

You are pretty save to ignore quick tasks. Nowadays, we typically use a database backed record to reflect process status. In case you need any ad-hoc actions, add related actions to that record.

The 60 second summary is that a quick task is a task that does not show in the task list; instead, it is shown as a related action on process-backed records. To configure a quick task all you need to do is check the box in the general tab of your User Input Task. 

It's mostly legacy because very few people use process-backed records any more (although they are still supported!). They have mostly fallen out of favor since storing data in a database table often provides more flexibility than the process-backed record.

Here's the design pattern from the docs: docs.appian.com/.../Process_Model_Recipes.html
