# Adding a Schedule Task Step

The Workflow Job Trigger step triggers a task to be run when data received from a submitted Workflow Job web form matches filter criteria specified in the step.

In addition, global variables created for the task can be mapped to web form fields so that their values may be used in other steps.

To add a new Workflow Job Trigger step to an existing task, do the following:

1. Open the relevant task (for creating new tasks, see Creating a New Task).
2. Either:

|  | Click and drag the Workflow Job Trigger icon from the Task Browser to the task Design area.

|  | Click on the Environment tab in the Task Browser. Right-click on Steps and select New > Event > Workflow Job Trigger.

|  | From the task's Design tab, right-click on empty space and select New > Event > Workflow Job Trigger.

3. Enter a Name and Description for the Step.
4. Select the Main tab.
5. Select a Web server from the drop-down list. Then select a Workflow Job from the drop-down list.
6. Click on the Add button under the Filter table to open the Filter Properties dialog box.
7. Add a suitable filter.
8. Click OK to close the dialog box. The new filter is added to the list.
9. Add any other filters required and then select either the Any of the above or All of the above options as applicable.
10. In the Mapping table, map variables to fields by dragging and dropping them from the Task Browser dialog box.
11. Select the Options tab and configure the error behaviour.
