Building Process Portal spaces for participating in processes

The Human Task Management widgets that are delivered with IBM BPM Advanced provide a means for using Process Portal spaces to participate in business processes. When you build these spaces for different user groups, consider the roles and work patterns of these users, the type of process and tasks that these users work with, and the data that they need while completing their work.

A subset of the Human Task Management widgets are also delivered with IBM BPM Standard.

If your system is configured to work with IBM Case Manager, you can include these widgets in a Case Manager Client solution space.

• Availability of the Human Task Management widgets and templates in IBM BPM Standard and IBM BPM Advanced
  The Human Task Management widgets and templates are delivered with both IBM BPM Standard and IBM BPM Advanced. The availability of individual widgets and templates depends on the IBM BPM configuration that you are using.
• Federation considerations for Process Portal spaces
  

  You can use Process Portal spaces to provide a single, federated user experience for participating in processes and tasks from multiple IBM BPM systems, or across multiple process servers. Federation with IBM Case Manager solutions is also supported.

• Enabling BPDs, BPEL processes, and IBM Case Manager solutions for use in Process Portal spaces
  The Human Task Management widgets can support business process definitions (BPDs) that were authored in IBM Process Designer, and BPEL processes and human tasks that were authored in IBM Integration Designer.

  If the system is configured correctly, the widgets can also support IBM Case Manager solutions. To ensure that you can use the widgets in a Process Portal space to work with BPDs, BPEL processes, and case management solutions, certain requirements need to be met when you develop these artifacts.

• Building Process Portal spaces using the Human Task Management templates
  The Human Task Management templates contain widgets that are wired and configured for common user interaction patterns, for example, checking the status of an order, or approving a travel request.

  You can use these templates to create business spaces for managing and participating in processes.

• Building spaces for integrating with IBM Case Manager solutions
  

  You can use the Human Task Management widgets that are delivered with IBM BPM to create spaces for integrating with case management solutions.

• Building customized Process Portal spaces
  

  You can use the Human Task Management widgets to build your own customized spaces. You can configure each of the widgets and combine them with other widgets to build spaces that reflect the roles and user interactions in your organization.
