User interaction patterns supported by the Human Task Management widgets
The user interaction patterns supported by the Human Task Management widgets focus on the tasks that business users perform when they participate in business processes.
Use the information in the following table to help you configure the user interactions that are exposed for a widget in a business space:
- "Yes" indicates that this is the typical way in which the widgets support the user interaction.
- "Alternative" indicates that you can configure the widgets to also support the user interaction.
The availability of individual widgets and specific user interactions depend on the REST service that is configured for Business Space.
- Federated REST services. Widgets can support both business process definitions (BPDs) and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) process and human tasks.
- Business process definition engine REST services. Widgets can support BPDs only.
- Business Process Choreographer REST services. Widgets can support BPEL processes and human tasks only.
For more information on which widgets are supported for a specific REST configuration, see Widget support for BPDs, BPEL processes, human tasks, and work items.
