WebSphere

This information applies to WebSphere Process Server only Using Task Definitions List

Use the Task Definitions List widget as the starting point to create and work on tasks associated with specific task definitions.

Filtering the task definition lists

In the Task Definitions List widget, you can display all the task definitions that you can access. Depending on how the business space owner configured the page, they are displayed in a table or a list.

Procedure
  1. To filter the displayed definitions, select the property that you want to filter by:
    • If your definitions are displayed in a table, move the mouse over the column header for the property that you want to filter by, and click the search icon that appears on the left.
    • If your definitions are displayed in a list, use the Set Filter box to select which property you want to filter by.
  2. For the property that you selected, specify filter criteria that are appropriate for the property type.
  3. Click the search icon to display the task definitions that match the filter criteria. The filter criteria are displayed above the task definitions list with two icons:
    • Click the pin icon to save the filter for the current list, the icon changes to indicate that it has been saved. Click the icon again to remove the filter.
    • Click the eraser icon to display the list without any filtering, but all saved filters remain available.
  4. If you save the filter, it is added to the first list in the actions bar for the current process definitions list. Selecting the saved filter from the list of saved filters also resets the process definitions list and the filter to the same filters that were selected when the filter was saved. When you clear the saved filter, it is removed from the list of saved filters. All your saved filters are lost when you log off.
  5. You can restrict the filtering further by selecting and specifying filter criteria for one or more other properties. The new filter criteria are added to the existing criteria shown in the actions bar of the widget.

Sorting definitions

You can change the sort order of displayed definitions. How you do this depends on whether your definitions are displayed as a list or in a table.

Procedure

Creating a task

The Task Definitions List widget provides task definitions for creating one-off tasks that are performed regularly, and for tasks that start other business processes, or services.

About this task

You can start the work or the service by selecting a task definition, and creating a task based on this definition. However, in some situations you might want to select the definition for the new task later.
Procedure
To create a task, perform one of the following actions.
  • Select a task definition, and then Create from the Actions list.
  • Select Create from the Actions list without selecting a task definition. In the new task that opens in the Task Information widget, select a task definition from the list.
