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.

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.

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.
