System Setup / Plugin Customization / Plugin Configuration [SET062].
<intro text>One of the key features of the Task Management module is that it is highly customizable. This Task Allocation Plugin is key to the process and allows for customization of how tasks are allocated from the HTML5 Task List.
The plugin works similar to the existing plugin logic, with an Interface defining the input and return values of the plugin.
The plugin is applicable to the Fetch New Task button.
