Managing Tasks and Workflows template

The Managing Tasks and Workflows template creates a space for managing work, creating tasks for other people, and initiating services and processes.

The Managing Tasks and Workflows template contains widgets from WebSphere Process Server to create a space for users to work on tasks that they own. These users can also accept unassigned tasks and work on them. Users might also be permitted to create tasks for other people, and initiate services and processes.

The Managing Tasks and Workflows template creates a space with three pages: My Work, Create Tasks, and Viewers. The My Work page is where you perform your day-to-day work. The following table lists the widgets in the My Work page and it describes the default interactions between widgets. This default behavior can be changed by anyone who has editor rights to the page that the widgets are on.
Widget name Description
My Tasks Displays the tasks that you own.
Task Information Displays information about a task that you selected in the My Tasks, Available Tasks, or the Human Workflow Diagram widgets. This widget is the place where you do the work on the tasks that you own. While the widget only displays information about one task at a time, you can swap between tasks by selecting the tabs.
Human Workflow Diagram If the task that is open in the Task Information widget belongs to a workflow, this widget displays the workflow diagram for the task. If the task does not belong to a workflow, the widget displays "No process context information available for this task."
Available Tasks Displays the tasks that are not assigned to anyone and that are available for you to select and work on.
Team List Displays other potential owners of a selected task. You can use the list of potential owners, for example, when you want to transfer a task.
On the Create Tasks page, you can create tasks for other people to perform and track the status of the tasks that you create. The following table lists the widgets in the Create Tasks page:
Widget name Description
Create Tasks Displays a list of task templates that you use to create a task, or to initiate services and processes.
Task Information Displays the form for the task that you are creating using the Create Tasks widget, or information about the tasks that you selected in the Tasks I Created widget. While the widget only displays information about one task at a time, you can swap between tasks by selecting the tabs.
Tasks I Created Displays the tasks that you created. These tasks can be tasks that you saved as drafts, tasks that you submitted for someone else to work on, or finished tasks.
Human Workflow Diagram If the task that is open in the Task Information widget belongs to a workflow, this widget displays the workflow diagram for the task. If the task does not belong to a workflow, the widget displays "No process context information available for this task."
The following table lists the widgets in the Viewers page:
