WebSphere

This information applies to feature pack. To use what is described, you must have installed the optional feature pack Tasks List

Use the Tasks List widget to work with different types of tasks, for example, tasks that you own, or tasks that are available for you to work on. If you own the page that the widget is on or if you have permission to edit the page, you can also configure this widget.

Using Tasks List

In the Tasks List widget, you can perform various actions, depending on whether you created, manage, or own the tasks. How you perform the actions can differ depending on whether the content of the widget is displayed as a table or a list.

Configuring Tasks List

To configure this widget, open the widget menu and select Configure to see the following configuration tabs. If the configure option is not available to you, you are not authorized to configure the widget.
  • On the Content tab is the Select tasks list to display field, which contains a list of all task lists that you can make available to the user of the widget. You can use this tab to perform the following:
    • To make more lists available to the widget user, change the default list, or to make available lists unavailable, click Add task lists, then in the window that opens, you can select a task list to add, clear a selected task list, or change the default list for this widget. Initially, All tasks is selected as the default that will be used when a drill-down is performed, this means that the widget receives a filter event.
    • To configure which properties are displayed in a particular tasks list, select the list, then check the boxes for the properties for the information that you want the widget to display, and clear any that you do not want displayed. To change the order in which the information is displayed in the widget, select a property, then click one of the arrows to move the property up or down in the list. When the List View layout is used, the first property in the list is used as the title for the entries in the task list.
  • On the Filter tab, you can select which of the authorization filters are available to the widget user. You can select between All Tasks I can Access, Tasks I own, Available Tasks, Tasks I Own and Available Tasks, Tasks I Created, and Tasks I Manage. Select a filter and click Set as Default to make it the default authorization filter. The default authorization filter is also used during any drill-down filter scenarios.
  • On the Display tab, you can select how the tasks list is presented.
    • Select Table View to display the tasks list as a table, with one task per row, and one column for each displayed property. Then choose a navigation style.
      • Fit to view (Multiple pages) provides a pagination bar at the bottom of the table.
      • View all (Scroll bar) provides a vertical scroll-bar for the list. For this option, you can also specify how many list items are displayed, the default is 100.
    • Select List View to display the tasks in a list. Then for each property you can select whether the information labels are displayed or not. The default is that the labels are not shown, which minimizes the screen space used to display the tasks in the widget. You can also change the number of tasks displayed, which has a default value of 100.
  • On the Refresh tab, you can select how the contents of the widget are refreshed.
    • Select Manually if the widget user must cause a refresh by selecting Refresh from the widget menu.
    • If the widget content should be refreshed automatically, select Automatically and specify the refresh interval in minutes, or use the default interval of one minute. If there are a large number of users, you should avoid using a short automated refresh interval because of the extra load that it will cause on the backend-systems.
    Depending on the wiring between the widgets, the contents of one widget might also be refreshed as a result of an action in another widget.
  • On the Priority tab, you can specify the sort priority, representation, and priority ranges:
    • Select the sort order for priorities. This determines for example, whether smaller or larger numbers are used to indicate a higher priority.
    • Select how task priorities are displayed:
      • Selecting Numeric representation means that priorities are displayed as integers, for example values between one and five.
      • Selecting Graphic representation means that priorities are displayed as graphics for high, medium, and low. If you select this option, you can also specify the two boundary values between the high, medium, and low priority ranges.
