The configuration of a business task can be as simple as including it and as complex as adding custom Groovy code that runs as part of the task.
Use the Actions menu to:
Include Business Task (on page 1): Include business tasks you want to execute for the selected gate transaction, truck visit, or when creating or modifying an appointment.
Exclude Business Task (on page 1): Exclude business tasks you do not want to execute.
Set Parameter (on page 1): Set a parameter for an included business task.
Set Failure Action (on page 1): Set an action code that N4 returns if this selected business task is included in your gate configuration and fails for a gate transaction or appointment.
For automated gates, N4 returns the failure code to the external GOS when the associated business task fails. The GOS uses the failure code to determine what action to take.
Set Filter (on page 1): Associate a saved filter, defined in the Gate Transactions view (on page 1) or the Truck Visits view (on page 1), with the business task to conditionally execute the business task.
When you associate a filter with a business task, N4 executes the business task only if the gate transaction matches the criteria specified in the filter.
For example, in the Truck Visits view (on page 1), you can define and save a filter that lists the truck visits for a trucking company AB Company and truck license TRC1234. If you associate this filter with a business task, N4 executes the business task only if the trucking company specified for the gate transaction is AB Company and the truck license is TRC1234.
Customize: Execute customized Groovy code for an included business task.
