Process History widget

You can use the Process History widget to display the status of the milestones that are defined for the workflow with which a work item is associated.

The Process History widget displays the milestones that the workflow author defines to represent key points in the workflow. The user can track the progress of the workflow by viewing the milestones. For a pending milestone, the widget displays only the milestone name. For a reached milestone, the widget displays the milestone name, an icon, the milestone message, and the date on which the milestone was reached.

You can add the Process History widget to the following pages and the widget automatically handles the events that are broadcast by the other widgets on the page to display milestone information for an opened work item or a selected activity:
  • Add Activity page
  • Add Activity Form page
  • Cases page
  • Form Attachment Work Details page
  • Work Details page
  • Work Details Form page

You can also add the Process History widget to the Work page. On this page, you must manually wire the icm.SelectWorkItem event that is published by the In-baskets widget to the icm.sendWorkItem event that is handled by the Process History widget.

You can edit the settings for the Process History widget to specify the highest milestone level that is to be visible to users. The Process History widget displays milestones at the specified level and any lower levels. For example, if you enter 5, the Process History widget displays milestones at levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. By default, users see only milestones with level 1.
