Delayed Execution
Check this field to process the task in delayed context. By default, Emakin executes task steps in a synchronized context until the task is assigned to a user or the workflow is completed. If you check this field, the workflow engine temporarily stops execution at the task and commits the current state to the database. The remaining execution is performed in another transaction. In some cases, you may need to use this field to ensure saving the current state and perform the remaining operations in another error-checking context.

Prework
The script which is executed before the task is assigned to the role. Please refer to the Task Prework Script section for more details.

Postwork
The script which is executed after the task is completed. Please refer to the Task Postwork Script section for more details.

Normal

If the task is configured as an intermediate task, emakin periodically checks any waiting tasks and executes the evaluation script on it. When any action is taken, it continues to the next step of a workflow.

You can configure the following for evaluation:
