WebSphere

This information applies to WebSphere Process Server only Tutorial: Configuring tasks lists

This tutorial describes how you can configure the Tasks Lists widget to show the information that business users need to do their work.

Before you begin

This tutorial uses widgets that contain content from WebSphere Process Server. To run the tutorial, WebSphere Process Server must be installed. In addition, someone in your IT department has created a query table using the Query Table Builder to access the information that needs to be presented in the widgets, and this query table has been deployed on the WebSphere Process Server.

About this task

Query tables provide a way to combine technical data from Business Process Choreographer, business data from the solution, and data from other sources in task lists. By using query tables, you can define filters that restrict which tasks are shown in a task list and what information is shown for each task in a list.

The tutorial is an example of how to configure task lists in a business space to display business data. Imagine that you are responsible for creating the business space for the claims processing department of your insurance company. You need to make sure that the task widgets that your users work with are configured to display the data that they need to assess the claims in addition to the task information.

You have permission to edit the Tasks List widget. Your IT department has created and deployed a query table for the claims department that included the relevant business data. You use Business Space to complete the following steps to configure these widgets to access the data.

Procedure
  1. Log onto Business Space and open the space that is used for working on insurance claims.
  2. Configure the Tasks List widget to use the query table that is defined for the claims department. The query table is made available to Business Space as a named task list.
    1. From the widget menu, select Edit Settings.
    2. In the Content tab, select Select task lists from the list of task lists.
    3. Select the task list that corresponds to the query table for the claims department.
    4. Select the information that the users of the widget will see for each insurance claim.
    5. Save your changes.
  3. Share the space with the claims processing department.
Results
The people who work in the claims department can now filter their task lists to show only claims-related tasks, and these tasks contain the business data that they need to process the claims.
