Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete multiple tasks | Choose complete multiple tasks when users need a saved progress hub for several meaningful task sections in a transaction. | Selecting a task row opens that task and returns users to the same hub with updated status after save, skip, or completion. | NHS supports task list status updates, all-completed gating, clear task descriptions, concise hints, and grouped lists. |
| Task list | Choose task list when the interface needs row-level task names, links, hint text, and status labels for a known set of service tasks. | A startable task row opens the represented task; the status label is not a separate primary command. | NHS supports task rows for long complex services, chosen order, status updates after return, all-completed gating, clear names, hints, grouping, and status text. |
