When a workflow participant or Tracker opens a work item displayed in a User Inbox (for example, selects a step assignment from a User Inbox), a pop-up window containing either the Step Processor user interface page or a Tracker page opens in the browser.
See Algorithm Used for Opening a Step Processor for a description of how the correct Step Processor is selected for display, and Supplying the URL for a Step Processor for how the URL for the Step Processor UI is supplied to the Web application.
You can display the deadline status of a work item to the user. Use VWQueueElement.getStepDeadlineStatus() to obtain the work item's status. Use VWQueueElement.getSgetLockedStatus() to determine the work item's lock status.
When a Tracker application is launched, a corresponding URL is constructed in a manner similar to a Step assignment, as follows:
Note: The Web server URL, the Tracker Java™Server Pages (JSP) location need to match (for the same Web application, based on the registered settings).
An example of a completed URL, is as follows:
http://your _server/Workplace/eprocess/WcmTracker.jsp? queueName=Tracker&wobNum=FA3454543AD231FDD3453&setWindowId=mainWindow
where Workplace is the Web application, eprocess is the parent directory and WcmTracker.jsp is the Tracker application's (View) JSP page.
