A Task is a special property assigned to a template definition. When someone uses a template to create a model, each task associated with that template will prompt the user to provide some information needed to configure the new model.
For example, a task might ask users to choose the default value for one of the model's variables, or specify a connection string property for one of its data sources. In each case, the user will be asked to provide something specific to their own application, which is not something that could be included in the template's source model.
You can access the list of tasks associated with a template by selecting the Tasks tab within its Template Definition window.

From here, you can access the Template Task Editor, where you can create and edit tasks.
