Mapping tasks to task pages
WebSphere Portal uses the task page concept to render the user interfaces for human tasks. By default, all human tasks are rendered on the predefined task page. However, you can map individual human tasks to dedicated task pages by adjusting the client UI settings of the corresponding human task in WebSphere Integration Developer.
This procedure describes how to use WebSphere Integration Developer to refine already modeled and developed business processes for the portal environment. Follow these steps to define the client UI identifier for each human task of the process that you want to map to a specific task page.
The client UI identifier represents an open resource reference that is used at runtime to look up task page definitions.
- In WebSphere Integration Developer, open the Business Integration Perspective.
- Open the process that you wish to work with. The BPEL Editor opens and displays the process model.
- Select the staff activity (the human task) for which you want to define the client UI identifier.
- Within the properties window displayed under the process model, click Details. A message confirms that the underlying staff action is implemented by a Human Task.
- Click Open to open the properties associated with the corresponding Human Task
- Select Portal Client from the Client Settings list.
- In the properties window, specify the unique name of the page and the page type, either static page or dynamic page:
- In the Unique name field, type a unique name for the task page.
- In the Type field, make sure that the value Page Definition is selected.
- Save the changes.
