WebSphere

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

Use the Task Definitions List widget as the starting point for working on tasks associated with specific task definitions. 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 Task Definitions List

In the Task Definitions List widget, you can view all task definitions that you can access. Depending on how the business space owner configured the page, they are displayed in a table or a list.

Configuring Task Definitions 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 task definitions lists to display field, which contains a list of all process definitions 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 definitions list, then in the window that opens, you can select a task definitions list to add, optionally set the list as the default, and then select which properties are displayed in that view.
    • To configure which properties are displayed in a particular definitions 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 becomes the title of the entries in the definitions list.
  • On the Filter tab, you can select which of the predefined filtered views are available to the widget user; Definition I can Initiate, Definitions For Filtering, or both. Select a view and click Set as Default to make the it the default.
  • On the Display tab, you can select how the task definitions list is presented.
    • Select Table View to display it 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 definitions in a list. Then for each property you can select whether the information property labels are displayed or not. The default is that the labels are not shown, which minimizes the screen space used to display the definitions in the widget. You can also change the number of definitions 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.
