Using custom form renderers for the Task Information widget

The Task Information widget is one of the widgets provided with IBM® Business Process Manager Advanced for working on tasks in Heritage Process Portal spaces. This widget contains a form where users enter the information that is required for the task. You can also develop your own forms and rendering logic.

About this task

By default, the Task Information widget supports HTML-Dojo forms and IBM Forms for human tasks, and coach-based forms for human services. The widget supports a custom extension service so that you can use alternative forms and rendering logic for the widget.

You can provide a custom form renderer either for all task templates that do not match any custom or default form renderer, or only for task templates that support your custom user interface client types. To use alternative forms, create and deploy a web application, which includes both the rendering implementation and the configuration information for the custom extension service, and register the web application as a custom extension service endpoint.
