In addition to the standard buttons, the toolbar of the user task designer also contains the following buttons:

• [Add Parameter] – adds a parameter to the user task structure.
• [Add Method] – adds a method to the user task structure.

You can also add an item by using the [Add] command of the right-click menu in the [Structure] area.

[Down] – moves an item down the list in the user task structure.
