Quick Task example

I'm not sure what the purpose of a Quick Task is. Do you know any YouTube video to see an example of use? Thanks in advance.

    Quick tasks are mostly legacy and only play a role for process backed records. Quick tasks then become the related actions.

    hi [mention:8cdd6119fd07485ea8670348a7dd2045:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  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.

    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.
