Configure the content of the Inbox widget

You can configure the Inbox widget so that it shows the lists of tasks and work items that are relevant to the users of this widget. For each of these lists, you can specify the properties that are shown as columns in the widget.

You must be the page owner or an editor of the page to configure this widget. To include lists of work items in the widget, your system environment must be configured so that IBM Case Manager can be accessed from a Process Portal space.

Procedure

1. Open the widget menu and select Edit Settings to see the configuration tabs.
   Initially, the All task list is selected on the Content tab.

2. Specify the lists that are available to the users of the widget.
   

   • Add a list by clicking Add. In the Add Lists window:

     1. Optional: For lists of tasks, select a process application name if you want the widget to show only those tasks in the list that belong to the process application.
     2. Required: For lists of work items, select a process application name.

        Tip: A process application corresponds to a solution in IBM Case Manager.

     3. Select one or more lists and click OK.
   • Remove a selected list by clicking Remove.
   • Change the default list for this widget by clicking Set as default. This default list is used when a drill down is performed, this is when the widget receives a filter event.

   The selected list determines the other configuration options that are available.

3. Specify the properties that are displayed for a list.
   Select the list, then select the properties that you want the widget to display, and clear any properties that you do not want displayed. To change the order in which the information is displayed in the widget, select a property, then click one of the arrows to move the property up or down in the list.

   For the List layout only: the first property in the list becomes the title of the entries in the list.

   For the Table layout only: you can specify properties for grouping the entries in the list. Select the Group by check box to enable a property to be used for grouping the entries in the list. To specify a default grouping for the list, select a property and then click Set as default group. To disable grouping, clear the properties that are selected.

4. Click OK to save the configuration changes.
   

What to do next

Specify the views and actions that are available for the selected list, and how the content is displayed and refreshed.
