About the Task Portlet Type Templates
When you add a new portlet to a task, you have the ability to select from the following portlet type templates included in Software AG Designer:
Portlet Type
Description
Generic
As the name indicates, use this template to create a generic portlet that you can customize into any function. Typically, you would select the generic template when none of the other templates address your need and you intend to design your own custom portlet.
Search Bar
Use this template to add a basic search parameters portlet that conforms to the common search framework of My webMethods.
Search Results
Use this template to add a basic search results portlet that conforms to the common search framework of My webMethods. You can specify if you want a table view of the results, a tree view, or the ability to toggle between table and tree view.
Search Bar + Results
Use this template to add a portlet that provides both the search bar and the search results, requiring no portlet-to-portlet wiring. The portlet conforms to the common search framework of My webMethods. You can specify if you want a table view of the results, a tree view, or the ability to toggle between table and tree view.
Task Overview
Use this template to add a new task overview portlet (see About the Task Overview Portlet). This portlet implements the basic tab structure and embeds the other portlets used in the task.
Task Data View
Use this template to add a new task data view portlet (see About the Task View (Task Details) Portlet).
Task Details View
Use this template to add a new task details view portlet. For more information, see About the Task Details View Portlet.
Task Audit View
Use this template to add a new task audit view portlet. or more information, see About the Task Audit Portlet.
Task Start
Use this template to add a default start portlet (the start portlet enables the task to be started manually in the My webMethods run-time environment). or more information, see About the Task Start Portlet.
Task Inbox Bar
Use this template to add the default task inbox search parameters portlet. This template is equivalent to the default TaskInboxBar portlet that is added to the task when the task is created (if you select the Generate Default Task Inbox Portlets option at creation time). See About the Task Inbox Bar Portlet.
Task Inbox Results
Use this template to add the default task inbox results portlet. This template is equivalent to the default TaskInboxResults portlet that is added to the task when the task is created (if you select the Generate Default Task Inbox Portlets option at creation time). See About the Task Inbox Results Portlet.
Task Comment View
Use this template to add a new task comments view portlet. For more information, see About the Task Comments Portlet.
Task Collaboration View
Use this template to add a new task collaboration view portlet. For more information, see About the Task Collaboration Portlet.
Important:
In some situations, if the task you are working with contains more than one Task View or Task Start portlet, you may need to modify the view definition for the task.
