    These are different things entirely (apples versus oranges!). What is the context for your question?

      Let me help you get started perhaps:

      • the 'Start Process smart service' is a 'smart service' (i.e. a node in an Appian process model) that starts an instance of a process model
      • the 'User input task' is also a 'smart service' that creates a task for a User to provide some input
      • a 'User input task' always has to be in a process model
      • not all process models have 'User input tasks'

      Hi snehalathac0001, As Stewart , these two are entirely different things and have different uses. I would strongly recommend you to go through appian documentation and Appian academy courses to understand about Appian objects and their uses.

        Thank you so much for the reply, I am a beginner in appian, and my manager asked me the question and was unable to answer it. The question was in context of memory management.
