Hi Dan,

You mention to:

 

...with the one caveat that to use the template with tasks generated, you have to access it via the left navigation. 

 

Be interested to see a screen shot or two to see what you are referring to as left navigation?

Hi Yogesh,

 

When --- it depends on your business requeirement. Best pratice say as soon as change get created task created and assigned to groups to do this

 

- Use flow designer and create task

- Use task template but it is one time activity and use can create task on run time with help of templates. 

- For standard change use template mapping easy to do actually.

 

Happy to connect further for discussion.

 

Mark my solution helpful , if it serve the purpose.

Atul,  so you are saying the task should be generated with the creation of the Change Record. Not after the approvals states? 

 

Is that the best practice? 

Yes @Mary35 , it is best practice. Because if the task gets created at the time of change creation it gives ample time to requestor or implementor both so it is recommended.
