The Advanced Managing of Human Tasks and Workflows template creates
a space for managing human tasks and process instances. You can use this space
to create tasks for other people, and to initiate services and processes.
This 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 default behavior
can be changed by anyone who has editor rights to the page that the widgets
are on.
This template creates a space with the following pages:
- My Work
- Organize Work
- Create Tasks
- Manage Human Workflows
- Manage Human Tasks
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.

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 or if you do not have at least reader
access for the workflow, the widget displays "No process context information
available for this task." |
