Customize Task Inbox

We are trying to customize task inbox where we want to add to 2 more columns to show specific information.

I went through the Vignette Management Content Extensible Guide and it didnt mention anything about how to extend the TaskListForm.java and TaskAsset.java. Both these java class are used to create the list of columns to display on task box. We use defaultHomePage.jsp to call these java files but there is no clear steps or documentation that can guide us towards implementing such customization.

Is this kind of customization possible?

If yes, can you please guide us or provide us any documentation that we can follow.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

what version? it's easily done in 7.x. I'm pretty sure it's covered in the extensibility guide. you register a custom jsp for the home page. not sure about 8.x.

Hi Warner,

We need to add 2 new columns in task inbox. Can you please let us know how this customization is possible. We were not able to get details from extensibilty guide.

Which jsp has to be modified and where it has to be configured?

Navigateto host>Vignette Content>Vignette Content Management Services>VignetteManagement Console>. Open ROLE_BASED_HOME_PAGE_CONTEXT. Set that to your webapplication context.

Also set ROLE_BASED_HOME_PAGE_PATH to the path of your JSP.

You can crack open the OOTB ears to find the OOTB task inbox JSPas a starting point.

Hi Ramanan,

Yes, customization is absolutely possible as Warner stated. For this,

You need to modify the default Home Page in that case.
There is a parameter(ROLE_BASED_HOME_PAGE_PATH) in ConfigConsole at "Vignette Configuration Console > Vignette Content > Vignette Content Management Services > Vignette Management Console" which points what is your default home page.
By default, it will be "vgn-appsvcs-console\secure\defaultHomePage.jsp" where vgn-appsvcs-console.war is a AppConsole context application.
You might need to modify defaultHomePage.jsp & home.jsp for your requirement.

For more information, please refer to "Extending the Home Page for Roles" of sdk_extensibility.pdf. Also, a sample custom task inobx is available at http://success.vignette.com/gm/folder-1.11.112985

I hope, this helps.......

Thanks & Regards,

Sanjeev
