Task (dictionary item)
For automation interface information about a Task, see Task (automation interface).
A Task describes a group of objects that have a common thread of control. The thread of control consists of a series of Operations that may contain iterations and selections.
You can create a Task through the context menu of a Package: right-click the Package, point to New, point to Proprietary, point to Concurrency, and then click Task. In addition, you can create a Task through a Concurrency Diagram.
When used on a diagram, a Task's notation is as follows:
In the Modeler panes, a short-cut symbol on the Task's icon indicates that the item is a stub.

If you select the Proprietary\Tasks folder in the Dictionary pane, the Contents pane displays the following information about each Task in the model: Worst Case Execution Time, Frequency and Priority.
The following sections provide information about how a Task is used in the model. For more information about a property, item, model part or diagram, click it.
