Roles (Responsible area)
In some cases, it may be useful to tie a task and/or task process to a specific role (for example a department or people with a specific area of responsibility). This is done in the Responsible area lookup field, located in the:
Task details area in the Task (TASK) application
Task process details area in the Task processes (TSP) application
Task process template details area in the Task process templates (PTM) application
Task template details area in the Task process template (PTMD) application
The role set in the Responsible area lookup field in the Task process (TSP) application does not have to match the role set on connected tasks. And vice versa, the role set in the Responsible area lookup field in the Task (TASK) application does not have to match the role set on the process the task is a part of.
When a role is added to a task or a task process, it will automatically be added with a full permission set in the Permissions tab. (It the System setting values (SSV) option Use extended permission system on tasks and task processes is turned ON in that system. Contact the company's support provider to turn on this setting.)
Note
The roles available in the Responsible area lookup field are managed in the Roles (ROLE) application.
