Download Demo App

Go to Enhanced Task Delegation in Joget Marketplace.

The Enhanced Task Delegation app integrates with the existing Joget Task Delegation UI menu. The app reads and writes records into the original task delegation database table. Additional custom fields are stored in the database table "app_fd_taskDelegation". With this app, you can customize your Task Delegation form with additional fields in the section called "Custom Fields". The UI uses a CRUD menu and the Forms has BeanShell and Workflow Form Binder to handle reading and writing into two database tables.
