Application: Task editor for custom enterprise tasks (Patent ID: US20230410008A1)

The patent filed by SAP SE describes a method for generating a user interface on a client device to create and configure custom tasks for enterprise software applications. Users can add, reorder, configure properties, and delete components within the custom task through the interface. The custom task is then generated based on user inputs for future execution. The system also supports creating sequences of actions, fixed or variable inputs/outputs, and the ability to create forms for user input values during task execution.

Furthermore, the system allows for the creation and configuration of automations or processes that include the custom task, as well as additional activities. The custom task is represented by a custom task object with an XML view and bindings, which can be modified to configure the task. The method also involves updating the user interface to support various configurations and interactions with the custom task, providing a flexible and customizable approach to managing tasks within enterprise software applications.
