Summary


We started this chapter by exploring the two modes of Planning application—Basic and Advanced. We introduced Task Lists and also its importance to a Planner or end user. Before we jump-started the creation of our first Task List, we assumed business requirements and then created a Task List, keeping planner (Ford_owner) in mind.

Finally, we also saw how a Planner would experience task lists in a planning application by logging into SRGD application as Ford_owner in Basic Mode and Advanced Mode as well. We have also seen how to create Task List reports, which will help to trace the progress of users and also Task Lists.

In the next chapter, we'll introduce Business Rules in Planning applications. This is where we incorporate business logic into our planning application.
