Configuring how content is displayed and refreshed in the Process Definitions widget

You can configure the Process Definitions widget to display the content as a table or a list. You can also configure how the content of the widget is refreshed.

Before you begin

You must be the page owner or an editor of the page to configure this widget.

Procedure

  1. Open the widget menu and select Edit Settings to see the configuration tabs.
  2. On the Display tab, select Layout to configure how the content of the widget is displayed. You can select one of the following layouts:
    • Select Table to display the process definitions list as a table, with one process definition per row, and one column for each displayed property. Then choose a navigation style:
      • Fit to view provides a pagination bar at the bottom of the table. Depending on how your business environment is configured, this navigation style might not be available.
      • View all provides a vertical scroll-bar for the table. For this option, you can also specify how many items are displayed, the default is 100.
    • Select List to display the process definitions in a list. You can select whether the information property labels are displayed. The default is that the labels are not shown, which minimizes the screen space used to display the content in the widget. You can also change the number of items in the list displayed, which has a default value of 100.
  3. Select Refresh to configure how the contents of the widget are refreshed. Depending on the wiring between the widgets, the contents of one widget might also be refreshed as a result of an action in another widget. You can select:
    • Manual if the widget user should select Refresh from the widget menu to refresh the contents of the widget.
    • Automatic if the widget content should be refreshed automatically. You must specify the refresh interval in minutes, or use the default interval of one minute. If there is a large number of users, avoid using a short refresh interval because of the extra load that it causes on the back end systems.
  4. Click OK to save the configuration changes.
