Disable

The Disable Task is used to make a specific element inactive, preventing user interaction with it. This task ensures that the element remains visible but is not editable or clickable, maintaining control over the application’s functionality and workflow.

To make the control or element inactive, you need to select the page, layout, row, and column that contain the element.

Common Uses:

1. Disabling Unavailable Options:
   • Disabling options like “Edit Details” once a loan application is submitted to avoid unauthorized changes.
2. Restricting Actions:
   • Temporarily disabling buttons like “Transfer Funds” until all required fields are completed, ensuring proper data input.

Configuration

When you create a task, its configuration page opens in which you define its basic and advanced properties. These are as follows:

Basic

Basic Properties	Description
Task Type	The Task Type indicates what kind of task you are creating. This is a read-only field since you select the type when you create the task and cannot change it during the configuration stage.
Reference Name	The Reference Name acts as a unique internal identifier for the task. This is visible to vFlow users for ease of reference but is hidden from end users. This allows users of the platform to manage and differentiate between tasks conveniently.
Name	The name defined here will be displayed to the end user.
Description	The Description field is intended for use by application designers or administrators (vFlow users) to provide additional context or details about the task group. This description is not visible to end-users and is used solely for internal reference to assist with task management.
