Invisible
The Invisible Task hides a specific element from the end user while keeping it part of the page structure. This task ensures that the element remains in the application but is not displayed to the user. To apply this task, you need to specify the page, layout, row, and column containing the element.
Common Uses:
- Stepwise Form Completion:
- Hiding fields like “Nominee Details” until the user completes initial account holder information.
- Context-Sensitive Display:
- Concealing options like “Loan Repayment Schedule” unless the user selects a related loan product.
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. |
