# User Tasks

**User Tasks** (user tasks) in a workflow are elements of a business process that require direct human action — for example, approving a document, entering data, or making a decision. Unlike automated tasks, they are not performed automatically by the system, but by a specific user or group of users.

The key is to link each such task to the appropriate **electronic form**, because it is the form that serves as the interface through which the user interacts with the process. This makes it possible to collect data in a structured way, ensure consistency of information, and automatically pass the results on to subsequent stages of the workflow.

From this chapter, you will learn how to connect Eximee forms with user tasks in the process definition.
