Worker template

A worker template provides a definition for a worker (task). It includes:

  • The process that the worker should run.
  • The status rules used to build the worker menus.
  • The action to be run when the worker is created.
  • Configuration options for the worker.

A Process Specification can be used as a worker template by setting the "resolveRole" property to the property for the worker (typically "owner").

The Worker Template node type can also be used to create a worker template from a process and status rules, or one or more components. The worker process definitions and worker status rules from the components are collated in order (those lower in the list taking precedence over those higher), and then the directly specified process and status rules merged on top of these.

Process Specification should be used in preference to Worker Template.
