UWL tasks become visible only when user clicks on the Tasks tab.

[former_member187977]

hi,

There are Workflow Items but they are not visible by default UWL view. They become visible only when user clicks on the "Tasks" tab.

can some one explain why so ?

There are by default 4 tabs that appear in the UWL view viz : Alert, Tasks, Notification and Tracking. We have hidden the other 3 and only tasks tab is visible.

But the workflow Items become visible only when user clicks on the tasks tab. Please suggest a solution so that, the workflow items become visible by default on the launch of UWL view (so that the user need not click on the Tasks tab to see workitems)

Thanks!

Hello Roshan,

Hopefully you are using the standard UWL iview. In that iview make sure that the 2 parameters sap_uwl_viewname and useNavigationId correctly points to the Tasks tab.For sap_uwl_viewname it should have the view name in the UWL XML file which contains your task tab and the useNavigationId should have the Navigation Node name  in UWL XML file which contains your task tab name.The XML file code  should be something like this

View which contains

<View name="DefaultView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task" columnOrder="subject, isEscalated, creatorId, createdDate, priority, attachmentCount, dueDate, status" sortby="priority:descend, dueDate:ascend, createdDate:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10" headerVisible="no" queryRange="undefined" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" actionRef="" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="86400000" dueDateWarning="259200000" emphasizedItems="new" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" dynamicCreationAllowed="yes" actionPosition="bottom" referenceBundle="tasks">

.....

.....

Navigation node which contains

<NavigationNode name="Main" view="" referenceGroup="" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no">

      <NavigationNode name="CombinedTask" view="DefaultView" referenceGroup="" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no" referenceBundle="tasks">

        <NavigationNode name="task" view="DefaultView" referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no" referenceBundle="new_and_inprogress_tasks">

          <NavigationNode name="PersonalViewPlaceHolderTask2" view="" referenceGroup="UWL_PERSONAL" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no"/>

....

<NavigationNode name="Main" view="" referenceGroup="" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no">

      <NavigationNode name="CombinedTask" view="DefaultView" referenceGroup="" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no" referenceBundle="tasks">

        <NavigationNode name="task2" view="DefaultView" referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no" referenceBundle="new_and_inprogress_tasks">

          <NavigationNode name="PersonalViewPlaceHolderTask2" view="" referenceGroup="UWL_PERSONAL" visible="yes" keepItemCountUpdated="no"/>

....

....

Thanks ,

Hello Roshan,

In the same XML file ,whichever is your view (for e.g. DefaultView) there is a tag

<AllowedFilters>

....

...

</AllowedFilters>

You can completely remove this and save your XML file .This will completely remove the dropdown within the Task.

If this solves your requirements ,hope to get some good points ...:)

Thanks,

Arijit
