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

 

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:

  • Attachments

  • Notes

  • Link to Process Visualization

  • Upper task header part (task metadata)

  • Lower task header part (task actions)

As default, all UI elements mentioned in the list above are displayed in the Task Execution UI. You can hide these elements, for example, to follow company specific policies. The following procedure describes how to configure in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) the visibility of the related UI elements in the Task Execution UI.

Note Note

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

End of the note.

For more information, see Task Execution User Interface.

Procedure

  1. Open the NWA using the path http://<host>:<HTTPport>/nwa.

  2. Navigate to   Configuration Management   Infrastructure   Application Modules  .

  3. From the Modules List select the webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tc~bpem~wdui~taskinstance.

    Note Note

    To quickly find the module, filter by the term “taskinstance”.

    End of the note.

  4. Under Web Module Details, open the Web Dynpro Properties tab page.

  5. In the property sheet, select Components/com.sap.tc.bpem.wdui.taskinstance.taskexecution.TaskExecution/settings. All properties are listed under Full Details.

  6. You can define the visibility of actions and other UI elements in the Task Execution UI by changing the value of the following properties:

    • ui.displayAttachments — toggles the visibility of the Attachments link

    • ui.displayLowerHeaderPart — toggles the visibility of the entire lower part of the Task Execution UI and thereby overrides individual settings for the contained buttons and links

    • ui.displayNotes — toggles the visibility of the Notes link

    • ui.displayProcess — toggles the visibility of the Process Visualization link

    • ui.displayUpperHeaderPart — toggles the visibility of the entire lower part of the Task Execution UI link and thereby overrides the individual settings, for example, for the Process Visualization link.

    The default value of each property is true. To hide the links and pushbutton at runtime, change the property to false.

    Note Note

    Misspellings or typos are treated as false.

    End of the note.

  7. Save your changes.

Result

At runtime, in the Task Execution UI, one or more of the Delegate, Revoke and Close task-related actions are not available to task owners.
