Example 1: An administrator creates a customized Inbasket for all users assigned the Manager Task using the Configuration Console

Suppose a company has a Task called "Manager," which has the responsibility of approving all contracts that have been negotiated by the sales force. The company negotiates dozens of items per week and, during a busy time, contracts, which typically have expiration dates, might take several days to be approved. In order to prioritize the contracts by their due dates, you can add a field that displays a flag if a contract is due in twenty-four hours or less.

Assigning a customized Inbasket to a task

After the Custom Inbasket has been created, you can assign it to the Task. This will be the Inbasket associated with the Task unless you change it.

  1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select Configuration > User Configuration > Tasks.
  2. From the list of Tasks, select Manager.
  3. At the next form that is displayed, select the customized Inbasket. For example, select Custom Inbasket 1.
  4. When you are finished selecting, click Actions > Save.

Create the customized Inbasket

This section provides a step-by-step example for making a customization to the Inbasket.

Note: 

This section does not go into detail about all the actions available from the Configuration Console. More information is in the Configuration Console User Guide available from your locally installed docs.infor.com or from the Infor Support Portal site.

  1. Access the web UI. From the Start menu, select Configure > Application.
  2. On the Configure Application form, select Business Classes and then click the Add icon.
  3. From the Create New Configuration form, specify this information:

    Business Class
    Select PfiQueueTask.
    List
    Select one of the available customized Inbaskets, Custom Inbasket 1 through Custom Inbasket 10.
  4. Cllick OK.

    If the OK button is unavailable for the custom Inbasket you selected, the inbasket has already been customized. Select an unused name from the list.
