As you create a new CSR or change the information on a CSR, Stat® evaluates your entry and adds new tasks as needed. This type of task is called an auto task. Stat auto task capabilities let you quickly define advance workflows, including what takes place, when, and by whom. For example, as the status of your CSR changes from Approved to Move to Production, Stat can automatically create and assign various tasks to different users, such as back up database or inform users PeopleSoft will be unavailable from 2 to 3.
Auto tasks are activated by the Application, CSR Type, and Status fields of a CSR. If your CSR contains an application, type, or status that has an associated auto task, Stat automatically adds it to the Task window.

You can also modify the due date if necessary. |
