Abstract: A system for providing workflow task customization comprises a workflow design tool communicating with a shared application platform. The workflow design tool is configured to receive a task customization selection, receive an initial task property selection, and upon receiving the initial task property selection, display a task customization user interface within the workflow design tool, the task customization user interface configured to receive one or more task property selections and receive a selection of a workflow item association from one or more workflow items stored by the shared application platform. The workflow design tool is further configured to generate a task including the one or more task property selections and associate the selected workflow item to the task.

Abstract: A method for providing workflow stages and integrated workflow stage visualization includes displaying a detailed view of a workflow, including a plurality of customizable stages, in the workflow user interface, wherein at least a first workflow stage of the plurality workflow stages is configured to contain a plurality of customizable workflow components, displaying the plurality of workflow components in the detailed view, receiving a selection of a stage view within the workflow user interface; displaying the stage view of the workflow, wherein the stage view includes the plurality of customizable stages but excludes the workflow components; and sending the workflow to the shared application platform.

Abstract: A system includes a workflow design application further including a user interface for displaying at least one project server platform type available for selection, and a project mode module configured to retrieve at least one available customizable project workflow component from the project server via a project server application programming interface (API). The user interface is configured to receive a project server platform type selection via the user interface, and, upon receiving the project server platform type selection, display the retrieved at least one customizable project workflow component, receive at least one customizable project workflow component selection, receive a customization selection for the selected customizable project workflow component, and receive a request to generate at least a portion of a project workflow based on the customization selection for the selected customizable project workflow component.
