Procedure documentationDefining the Visibility of Task-Related Actions Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management (BPM) enables you to configure the visibility of some elements in the Task Execution user interface (Task Execution UI). You can choose whether the following task-related actions are available to the task owner:

  • Delegate (Action menu item)

  • Put Back (Action menu item)

  • Attachments (View menu item)

  • Notes (View menu item)

  • Task Team (View menu item)

  • Link to the process visualization

  • Header part (task data)

By default, the mentioned UI elements are displayed in the Task Execution UI. You can define the visibility in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA). The following procedure describes how to hide the visibility of the related UI elements in the Task Execution UI.

Note Note

Changing the visibility settings in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator of the task-related actions has effect on all task instances in the Task Execution UI.

    The default value of each property is true. To hide the UI element at runtime, change the property to false.

Misspellings or typos are treated as false and thereby hide the respective menu items/buttons.

End of the note.
