The Advanced Managing of Human Tasks and Workflows template
creates a space for managing human tasks and process instances. You
can use this space to create tasks for other people, and to initiate
services and processes.
This template contains widgets from WebSphere Process Server to
create a space for users to work on tasks that they own. These users
can also accept unassigned tasks and work on them. Users might also
be permitted to create tasks for other people, and initiate services
and processes. The default behavior can be changed by anyone who has
editor rights to the page that the widgets are on.
This template creates a space with the following pages:
- Work on tasks
- Work continuously
- Organize Work
- Create Tasks
- Manage Human Workflows
- Manage Human Tasks
The
Work
on tasks page is where you perform your day-to-day work.
The following table lists the widgets in the
Work on tasks page and it describes the default interactions
between widgets.
