Default Task Management Process Flow
Task management follows the same concepts that are applied to Ticket Management in general, with some exceptions. The exception arises because Task Tickets can be created only as children of Service Requests, Incident, Problem, and Change Requests. Task Tickets are related only to the parent ticket and no other tickets. The Task Tickets are created to assign different tasks to users or groups. On the completion of tasks, you can update the parent ticket with the results.
The default process is applied when the ticket did not match the entry criteria of other task process workflows that are active. By default, the status of the Default Task Management Process Flow is set to Published.
The process of a default task management is shown in the following diagram:

The following steps explain how default task management process workflow works:
- When a ticket is raised, based on the matching conditions the entry criteria is verified to assign the request. When no conditions are matched, the request is assigned to Service Desk (L1) group.
- The ticket is assigned to the respective analyst in the Administrative group for resolution.
- When a resolution is identified, the ticket is closed as successful. If the resolution is not identified, the ticket is closed as failed and is reopened for resolution.
The following section provides details of the Default Task Management Process Flow configuration.
