Creating a Managing My Team's Tasks space

If a Managing My Team's Tasks business space is not available, you can create one.

A Managing My Team's Tasks business space uses widgets that contain content from WebSphere® Process Server and WebSphere Business Monitor. If a product is not installed, Business Space replaces its widgets with an image and a message.

If you plan to use the Reports widget and the Dimensions widget in a Managing My Team's Tasks space, DB2® Alphablox must be installed. These widgets also require a monitoring model and context that contains the dimensions and measures that you want to see as a graph or chart in the Dimensions widget or as a report in the Reports widget. If you plan to use the KPIs widget, the process server must have a monitor model containing a KPI model. Finally, you must have the access rights necessary to access the monitoring model. Without the access rights, you will not be able to configure the widgets to show the information that you want.

To create the space for the Managing My Team's Tasks scenario:

  1. Log onto Business Space and create a business space using the Managing My Team's Tasks template. For information about how to create the business space, see Creating business spaces.
  2. Configure the My Team's Tasks widget on the Managed Team Tasks page to display a specified number of tasks. The widget displays 10 tasks by default.
  3. Configure the KPIs widget in the new business space so that it can display information:
    1. From the widget action menu, select Configure.
    2. In the KPIs tab, select the KPI for the age of the quote requests.
    3. In the Layout tab, select how you want to display the KPI.
    4. Click Apply and check the result of your configuration in the bottom part of the widget.
    5. Keep changing the configuration until the widget displays the information that you want to see in the way that you want to see it and then click OK.
  4. Configure the Dimensions widget to display data visually in multiple dimensions. For example, you can configure the Dimensions widget to display how many order quotes a particular team member processed, display how many order quotes the team processed in a particular day, and display the status of order quotes.
    1. Select the monitoring model and context for the order request business process.
    2. From the Available Dimensions list, select the dimensions that you want the widget to display. Put the dimensions in the row, column, or page dimension lists according to how you want to display them. You must put at least one dimension in the column dimension list.
    3. When the widget displays the information that you want to see in the way that you want to see it, click OK.
  5. Configure the Reports widget to display the trend for the average age of order requests over the last month. For example, you can configure the widget to display whether the age of order requests is increasing or decreasing.
    1. Select the monitoring model and context for the order request business process.
    2. In the Measures field, select the measure for the average age of the order request.
    3. In the Analysis type field, select Trend.
    4. Set the report to start one month ago and end today and to check the average age every day.
    5. When the widget displays the information that you want to see in the way that you want to see it, click OK.
  6. If you want other people to see the space and the pages it contains, share the space and add the people as viewers or editors of the space. For more information, see Sharing business spaces.
For an example of how you might use the business space that you created, see the Managing My Team's Tasks scenario.
