Task default configurations are used to propagate configurations to tasks across workflow templates.
Anytime a task is added to a workflow template it inherits its default configurations for every template field and updates dynamically when the task default is modified. Each task template field can be customized to break this dynamic link to the task default configuration.
Each of the following fields can be independently set to default or custom on every task in a workflow template:
Process Time and Cycle Time are two metrics to measure task duration. Process Time in FactoryFour is calculated by summing all time the task is in the active status. Whereas Cycle Time is calculated by the difference between the timestamp when the task moves from standby to inactive (i.e. the tasks dependencies were met) and the timestamp that the task is completed. In task configuration, the expected Process Time and Cycle Time are set to enable measuring expected vs. actual times for both metrics.
All existing workflows will work like any future workflows:
custom as it deviated from the empty default configurationdefault and will update dynamically when the task default configuration is modifiedIf you would like to link existing configurations with the task default or unlink empty configurations from the task default, then those modifications will need to be published in a new revision.
