Customizing the content shown in the Human Task Management widgets

The content that is shown in the widgets is provided by a query. Queries are known as lists in the widget configuration. You can configure widgets in a business space to use different lists so that they contain the content that is needed by the users of the business space.

Before you begin

Before you begin, you must complete the following tasks:

For lists that contain federated content from business process definitions (BPDs), BPEL processes, and IBM Case Manager work items, ensure that the domains are configured on the system, the corresponding saved searches, query tables, and in-basket queries exist and comply with the naming considerations for federated lists.
For lists that contain BPD-related content, ensure that a saved search exists that reflects the content.
For lists that contain content related to BPEL processes or human tasks, ensure that a query table that reflects the content exists on the configured domain.

Procedure

Open the Content settings for the widget. Open the widget menu and select Edit Settings to see the configuration tabs. When you configure a widget for the first time, the All default list is selected on the Content tab.
Change the lists that users see. The lists that are available depend on how your system environment is configured.
- If the system environment is configured for federation mode, the list contains the lists that are available for the federated domains. If there are multiple domains, the domain name is added to the list name so that you can decide which list to use. The All list shows all the BPD and BPEL-related content for the list type from all the systems in the default domain; it does not contain any work-item-related content.
- If the system environment is configured for the business process definition engine, the list contains the saved searches for the list type. The All default list shows all the BPD-related content in the system environment for the list type.
- If the system environment is configured for Business Process Choreographer, the list contains the query tables that are deployed on the system for the list type. The All default list shows all the BPEL-related content in the system environment for the list type.
Configure which properties are displayed in a specific list. You can use the same list for different user roles or user groups. In each case, you include only those properties that are needed by the role or group.
