The Auto Task Designer lets you define and build processes that can then be executed from custom button's on entity views from within Hornbill apps.  Auto Task processes start > execute > end, there is no concepts of stages, tasks, approvals or other nodes which would suspend a process.

::These nodes can be used after a number of other nodes including, Human Tasks, or Automated tasks where multiple outcomes are possible.  The Decision node can be used to facilitate the drawing of multiple outcome lines to other nodes, and for each outcome to be individually set.  It is also possible to join decision nodes, to other decision nodes through the use of a '''No Match''' outcome.  This caters for situations where multiple outcomes per decision are needed and not simply the three which are available from a single decision node.

==Groups==
A BPM Process has the possibility of having a large number of nodes which can result in a very busy and difficult to follow workflow. A Group feature is available that allows you to group together a number of nodes which can then be minimized and viewed as a single Group container. The nodes within the Group can be displayed again by maximizing the Group container.

:: When a group is unlocked, moving the group box over nodes will automatically add the nodes into the group. Locking the group box will prevent the adding of nodes to the group if the group box is moved over nodes on the canvas.
