Why I picked it
One task that an employee starts, a manager reviews and HR finishes, instead of three separate tasks to chase.
Where it helps
An employee fills in a flexible working request, their manager adds a recommendation and HR completes it, with the history kept together.
Watch out: Up to five stages, each person once; reopening restarts from the first performer.
From Oracle's note
Some HR workflows need an employee to enter information, a manager to review it and HR to finish the same activity. A multi-stage task keeps those contributions together, with each performer able to see the earlier work before completing their stage.
- Assign one task to as many as five distinct performer stages, completed in sequence.
- Keep task completion pending until every performer stage is complete.
- Use supported task types such as configurable forms, documents, external URLs, manual tasks and video.
Set JPT=Y in ORA_PER_JOURNEY_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (append ;JPT=Y if another value is present) and enable Oracle Search. A performer can appear only once; reopening restarts the stages from the first performer.
