About Available Task Binding Properties
When you open a portlet view or page view in the view editor, you can click an item in the Binding view hierarchy to view and modify the properties for that item in the Properties view. All task business data is available in the Bindings view, as well as key elements such as the Task Search Provider (for the Inbox Results portlet). You can also set a number of behavioral properties for the task, such as:
Auto Accept (default = false). When the data binding value for this property is set to true, the task is automatically accepted by the user when the user updates the task. This property is the same as the Task UI Update wizard option, "Auto-accept task upon modification." Applies to the default view of the Task Details portlet.
Need Accept to Update (default = true). When the data binding for this property is set to true, the user must accept a task before any actions or modifications can be done. This property is the same as the Task UI Update wizard option, "Require task acceptance to permit modification." Applies to the default view of the Task Details portlet.
Ad-hoc Routing (default = false). When the data binding for this property is set to true, the user can assign the currently open task in the user's inbox to another user, group, or role. This ability appears on the task Data View tab. This property is the same as the Task UI Update wizard option, "Enable user routing." Applies to the default view of the Task Details portlet.
Maximum Users can Accept (default = 1). This value specifies the maximum number of
My webMethods users that can accept a specific task instance. You might want to enable multiple simultaneous acceptances for a task, for example, where multiple approvals are needed. When the task is accepted by the number of users specified here, no other users can accept the task. This option is available in the Binding view only. Applies to the default view of the Task Details portlet.
Do Not Show Accepted By Others (default = false). When the data binding for this property is set to true, the inbox search results will not contain any tasks accepted by other users. This property is the same as the task wizard option, "Hide tasks accepted by others in the task type inbox results." Applies to the default view of the Task Inbox Search Results portlet.
For the procedure to modify these binding properties, see
Modifying Task Binding Properties.
You can also modify several of the above properties in the task editor as described in
Modifying Client Options for a Task.
