Creating task page definitions

You can specify tasks for portal users to see in the My Tasks portlet

A task page definition is required for each activity, or task, that requires portal-site user interaction. Task page definitions are standard portal pages that contain a task processing portlet and any other portlets that are required to process the work that is associated with the task. When a user opens a task for processing, an instance of that page definition is dynamically created and added under the page container for open tasks.

To add a task page definitions page, click the item in the Palette view and drag it to your Portal Configuration, or follow these steps:

1. In the Outline view, expand the

   Content Root node.

2. In the

   Content Root node, right-click

   Task Page Definitions page and select

   Insert Page | As Child. Where you insert the definitions page will depend on the which page or label is currently highlighted in the Portal Configuration.

   Note: If a child page of Task Page Definitions page is selected, the user can use an "After" or "Before" action to insert a task-page definition page.

3. In the Insert Page dialog box, specify a title, unique name, and layout for the Task Page Definitions page. For the unique name value, use the unique Client UI identifier of the task that will be used to launch the page.

4. Click OK.

Verify that your Task Page Definitions is listed in both the Portal Configuration and the Outline view. Note that in the Outline view, the definitions page will appear by title within the Page hierarchy that you chose earlier.
