A Customizing the Workflow Designer

There are a number of properties that can be useful in customizing the Workflow Designer user interface based on what a particular locale demands. This appendix discusses some of the examples of Workflow Designer customization.

The label widths for the task names can be customized by using:

global.workflowRenderer.labelWidthFactor=7

If in a particular locale the text is seen to be truncated, then this property can be changed accordingly to modify the width of the labels.

Similarly, the width and height of the icons representing the tasks and responses can be controlled by:

workflowRenderer.referenceMarker.defaultHeight=22
workflowRenderer.referenceMarker.defaultWidth=22
workflowRenderer.referenceMarker.defaultDistance=6
workflowRenderer.referenceMarker.maxLabelLength=5

workflowRenderer.response.defaultHeight=20
workflowRenderer.response.defaultWidth=250
workflowRenderer.response.maxLabelLength=25

workflowRenderer.task.defaultHeight=38
workflowRenderer.task.defaultWidth=38
workflowRenderer.task.maxLabelLength=200

In the search functionality at different places in the designer implementation, the number of results could be high in cases where users and groups are searched. To control the number of results to be displayed, the following properties can be used.

workflowDesigner.label.limitUserSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitGroupSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitAdapterSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitEmailTemplateSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitRulesSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitAssignTypeSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitDependentDataTaskSearchResults=200
workflowDesigner.label.limitExistingTasksSearchResults=200

When the number of results returned are more than these numbers, a message is shown to narrow the search criteria.
