Hiding and Displaying a Task Type Page

Edit online

About this task

It is possible to hide a task type page within the My webMethods taxonomy with the procedure described below. However, this approach is essentially temporary, as the page will be displayed again the next time the task type is published to IBM My webMethods Server.

For a permanent solution, modify the task type page properties in IBM webMethods Designer as described in "Hiding and Displaying a Task Page" in the Designer online help, and then publish the task type to IBM My webMethods Server.

Note: In general, the default Inbox page is displayed by default, but not select the Details page or the Start page (if one is present). If custom pages have been added to the task, they may configured to be displayed or hidden as required.

You can hide or display any of the following task type page names in IBM My webMethods Server:

  • Task Inbox page
  • Task Details page
  • Task Start page
