Explore data object creation and mapping in Oracle process automation: capture form details, map inputs via data association to a web form, manage task outcomes, and enable notifications.

Demonstrate how enabling email notifications and the default template in Oracle Process Automation sends task assignment emails, and how moustache syntax personalizes the html template with assignee details.

Customize the html email template in oracle process automation by mapping data from the process data object into a custom notification using mustache syntax.

Learn how system actions in Oracle Process Automation handle leave approvals, including reassign, withdraw, claim, escalate, and request for more information, with custom actions and email templates.

Learn to configure task level priority and due date, apply filters by priority, and manage tasks with activation, deactivation, and purge practices while using interval formats.

Learn how a task expires in a human task, completing the process instance after a set time, even if the user hasn't acted, using due date and overdue status.

Escalate a task after one minute of inaction by assigning to a user or group, with optional comments or expression-based targets, then verify the escalated status.

Configure web forms and presentations in Oracle process automation to separate initiator and approver views, clone and customize presentations, and enforce read-only or hidden fields for the approver form.

Learn about exclusive gateway in Oracle Process Automation by modeling a leave-approval workflow, routing requests to air and HR on a task-outcome equal to approve condition, with data mapping.

Explore how the inclusive gateway in Oracle Process Automation Gen 3 enables parallel approvals (HR and senior manager) for sick leave and how paths converge later in the process.

Parallel gateway routes approvals in parallel to senior manager and HR, enabling simultaneous tasks without conditions. Compare with exclusive gateway, which routes on a single satisfied condition.
