Task item details¶

TaskItemDetails is a built-in component of Portal which contains the role, user, task, case and time information which users can interact with. In order to show needed task’s information, Portal supports you to override concepts of TaskItemDetails component.

Each TaskItemDetails contains

Data and Description 1
Documents 2
Histories 3
Custom panels (widgets)

task-standard

Important

All visible widgets will be configured in Global Variable Portal.TaskDetails.

How to configure widgets in task details¶

Settings of all visible widgets on task details page are saved in Global Variable Portal.TaskDetails.
Cockpit Administrator can configure widgets via global variable Portal.TaskDetails on Cockpit settings page.

Default configuration includes 3 widgets.

{
   "widgets":
   [
      {
         "type": "information",
         "id": "information",
         "axisX": 0,
         "axisY": 0,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 12
      },
      {
         "type": "document",
         "id": "document",
         "axisX": 6,
         "axisY": 0,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 6
      },
      {
         "type": "history",
         "id": "history",
         "axisX": 6,
         "axisY": 6,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 6
      }
   ]
}

Structure of each widget in variable Portal.TaskDetails:

type: There are 4 types: information, document, history, custom

id: It’s used to detect custom widgets.

axisX: HTML DOM Style left will be calculated by formula axisX / 12 * 100%

axisY: HTML DOM Style top will be calculated by formula axisY / 12 * 100%

width: HTML DOM Style width will be calculated by formula 60 * width + 20 * (width - 1)

height: HTML DOM Style height will be calculated by formula 60 * height + 20 * (height - 1)

styleClass (optional): add CSS Classes to HTML DOM

style (optional): add inline style to HTML DOM

Important

Do not change type and id of widgets. You can change axisX, axisY, width and height to update size and position of widgets.
axisX, axisY, width and height must be integers.
axisX + width must not be larger than 12.

How to customize Task item details UI¶

Refer to portal-developer-examples project for examples.

Introduce an Axon Ivy project which has PortalTemplate as a required library.
To customize task item details, you must customize Portal Home first. Refer to Customize Portal home to set new home page.
Copy the PortalStart process from PortalTemplate to your project. Point PortalHome element to your custom home page in previous step. This process is new home page and administrator should register this link by Portal’s Admin Settings.
Use Axon Ivy HtmlOverride wizard to override PortalTaskDetails HTML dialog.
After previous steps, you can override Task item details UI elements to show custom panels, show or hide elements.

To show or hide elements, refer to Show or hide elements.

To show custom panels (widgets), refer to Show Custom Panels (Widgets).

Show or hide elements¶

Refer to list of ui:param tag in PortalTaskDetails.xhtml of PortalTemplate. If you want to show or hide elements on TaskItemDetails, you must override ui:param

List of valid ui:param:

ui:param name="showItemDetailsHeader" value="true"

To show or hide Task Header, use showItemDetailsHeader. Default value is true.

Show Custom Panels (Widgets)¶

There are two steps for adding new custom panels.

Cockpit admin must configure global variable Portal.TaskDetails on Cockpit Page to add custom widgets.

Example Portal.TaskDetails with including 2 custom widgets configuration:

{
   "widgets":
   [
      {
         "type": "information",
         "id": "information",
         "axisX": 0,
         "axisY": 4,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 12
      },
      {
         "type": "document",
         "id": "document",
         "axisX": 6,
         "axisY": 4,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 6
      },
      {
         "type": "history",
         "id": "history",
         "axisX": 6,
         "axisY": 10,
         "width": 6,
         "height": 6
      },
      {
         "type": "custom",
         "id": "taskItemDetailCustomPanelTop",
         "axisX": 0,
         "axisY": 0,
         "width": 12,
         "height": 4
      },
      {
         "type": "custom",
         "id": "taskItemDetailCustomPanelBottom",
         "axisX": 0,
         "axisY": 16,
         "width": 12,
         "height": 4
      }
   ]
}

Refer to the taskItemDetailCustomPanel* section in PortalTaskDetails.xhtml of PortalTemplate.

We need to define the ui:define tag with the valid name such as taskItemDetailCustomPanelTop and taskItemDetailCustomPanelBottom.

The taskItemDetailCustomPanel* will be displayed base on value of global variable Portal.TaskDetails.
Add your custom code into <ui:define name="taskItemDetailCustomPanel*"></ui:define> tags.

Example code for overriding custom panel box of task details:

<!-- In this HTML dialog, we override task list header, task header, task filter, and task body -->

<ui:composition template="/layouts/PortalTaskDetailsTemplate.xhtml">
   <ui:param name="task" value="#{data.task}" />
   <ui:param name="dataModel" value="#{data.dataModel}" />
   <ui:param name="portalPage" value="#{data.portalPage}" />
   <ui:param name="isFromTaskList" value="#{data.isFromTaskList}" />
   <ui:param name="isTaskStartedInDetails" value="#{data.isTaskStartedInDetails}" />
   <!-- To show/hidden any sections of Task detail, you can turn true/false for below parameters -->
   <!-- To show the Header component inside Task details body. By default it's true -->
   <ui:param name="showItemDetailsHeader" value="true" />
   <!-- To show the Notes component inside Task details body. By default it's true -->
   <ui:param name="showItemDetailsNotes" value="true" />
   <!-- To show the Documents component inside Task details body. By default, it's true -->
   <ui:param name="showItemDetailDocuments" value="true" />
   <ui:define name="title">#{ivy.cms.co('/Labels/TaskItemDetail')}</ui:define>

   <!-- Add a content as Custom panel for Task Detail on top -->
   <ui:define name="taskItemDetailCustomPanelTop">

      <div class="task-detail-section-title u-truncate-text">
         <h:outputText value="This is custom panel on top section" />
      </div>
      <div class="Separator" />

      <div class="custom-task-details-panel-top">
         <h1>This is custom content on top</h1>
         <p>Custom height to auto</p>
         <p>Custom font size to 1.2rem</p>
      </div>
      </h:panelGroup>
   </ui:define>

   <!-- Add a content as Custom panel for Task Detail on top-left-->
   <ui:define name="taskItemDetailCustomPanelBottom">
      <h:panelGroup styleClass="ui-g-12 ui-sm-12 custom-task-panel">
      <div class="task-detail-section-title u-truncate-text">
         <h:outputText value="This is custom panel on bottom section" />
      </div>
      <div class="Separator" />

      <div class="custom-task-details-panel custom-task-details-panel-bottom">
         <h1>This is custom content on bottom</h1>
         <p>Custom height to auto</p>
         <p>Custom font size to 1.2rem</p>
      </div>
      </h:panelGroup>
   </ui:define>

   <ui:define name="css">
      <h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="examples.css" />
   </ui:define>
</ui:composition>

After applied above example xhtml code and example variable Portal.TaskDetails to your custom page, custom panels will be displayed as the below image. taskItemDetailCustomPanelTop (1)

taskItemDetailCustomPanelBottom (2)
