Task Management

Tasks are approval requests in the governance workflow. Aletyx Decision Control Tower provides a central view of all tasks assigned to your role.

• A model is submitted for review
• A deployment requires approval
• A compliance check is needed

Each task is assigned to specific roles based on the workflow configuration.

Four-Eyes Principle

Aletyx Decision Control Tower enforces the four-eyes principle:

• Rule: Submitter cannot approve their own task
• Enforcement: Automatic validation by Governance API
• Audit: All approval attempts logged

Example: - Sarah (BA) submits model for review - Sarah cannot approve this task - Tom (Risk Manager) must approve or reject

Task Workflow

    [*] --> Open: Task Created
    Open --> Approved: Approve
    Open --> Rejected: Reject
    Approved --> [*]: Deployment Complete
    Rejected --> [*]: Workflow Ended

Role-Based Task Assignment

Tasks are automatically assigned based on workflow configuration:

Default Workflow

Step	Task Type	Assigned Roles
1	Risk Review	RISK_MANAGER
2	Compliance Check	COMPLIANCE
3	Production Deploy	OPERATIONS

Custom Workflows

Configure custom workflows in the Governance API:

{
  "workflow": {
    "submitForReview": ["BUSINESS_ANALYST"],
    "riskApproval": ["RISK_MANAGER"],
    "complianceApproval": ["COMPLIANCE"],
    "promoteToProduction": ["OPERATOR"]
  }
}

Task Notifications

Users receive notifications for:

• New tasks assigned to their role
• Task status changes
• Approaching deadlines
• Workflow completions

Task History

All task actions are recorded in the audit trail:

• Who performed the action
• When it was performed
• What action was taken
• Comments provided

Bulk Operations

For multiple tasks:

• Select tasks using checkboxes
• Choose action (approve/reject)
• Add common comment
• Execute batch operation

Use Carefully

Bulk operations apply the same action to all selected tasks. Review each task before bulk actioning.

Task Metrics

Aletyx Decision Control Tower tracks task metrics:

• Average approval time
• Rejection rate
• Tasks per role
• Bottleneck identification

Troubleshooting

2. Verify database connectivity
3. Review deployment logs
