Use custom form renderers for the Task Information widget
The Task Information widget is one of the widgets provided with IBM BPM Advanced for working on tasks in Process Portal spaces. This widget contains a form where users enter the information that is required for the task. You can also develop your own forms and rendering logic.
By default, the Task Information widget supports HTML-Dojo forms and IBM Forms for human tasks, and coach-based forms for human services. The widget supports a custom extension service so that you can use alternative forms and rendering logic for the widget.
You can provide a custom form renderer either for all task templates that do not match any custom or default form renderer, or only for task templates that support your custom user interface client types. To use alternative forms, create and deploy a web application, which includes both the rendering implementation and the configuration information for the custom extension service, and register the web application as a custom extension service endpoint.

If you want to customize the widget to use other types of form rendering for some or all of your tasks, you must also develop a custom form renderer.- Enabling the Task Information widget to use custom form renderers
The Task Information widget supports a custom extension service. You can use this service to implement alternative forms and rendering technologies for the form content.
