Introduction

Unlike the Inbox Menu which is limited to its own set of predefined columns, the Datalist Inbox Userview Menu allows you to define your own datalist columns to display important values for your list records.

LabelMenu label. Mandatory field.

Datalist to load. Mandatory field.

Make sure that the "id" of the dataset in the Datalist reflects the Process Instance ID or record ID that can be used to match to the actual assignment.

This is especially important when one is using the JDBC Datalist Database Binder to define its own query.

  • Assignments for all Apps
  • Assignments for a Process only
  • Assignments for selected Activity only
Process

Filter by process(es). Required when Assignments to Display is set to "Assignments for a Process only" or "Assignments for selected Activity only"
