Is there a way to complete a task and automatically accept the next task in the process, without having to pass through the worklist?
You can automatically asign a task, but tasks are intended for human interaction.
You need then to click on “Accept” manually, or modify the task (then is accepted and you jump the step to accept it), for wM 7 and 8.
wM 8 provides you the option to open a task from a task type inbox.
