Set Up the Worklist Region on My Dashboard

The Worklist: Notifications and Approvals region displays the workflow tasks assigned to the user. You can add this region to My Dashboard for all users, and set the Welcome Dashboard Worklist Timeout Interval (ATK_HOME_PAGE_WORKLIST_TIMEOUT) profile option.

Adding the Region

To add the Worklist: Notifications and Approvals region to My Dashboard:

  1. Click Navigator > Others > My Dashboard.

  2. If the Page Composer isn't active, click the Activate a sandbox link in the warning dialog box to activate a sandbox with that tool.

  3. Click your initials in the global header, and select Edit Pages in the Administration menu group.

  4. Click the Add Content button where you want to place the region.

  5. Open the Application Content folder in the Add Content dialog box.

  6. Click Add for the Worklist: Notifications and Approvals item.

  7. Click Close.

  8. Save your work, and then click the Close button.

Defining the Timeout Interval

When users open My Dashboard and it contains the Worklist: Notifications and Approvals region, data for the region is retrieved. The Welcome Dashboard Worklist Timeout Interval profile option determines how long to continue retrieving before timing out and displaying no data. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following:

  • Functional Area: Application Extensions

  • Task: Manage Application Toolkit Administrator Profile Values

Note:

If you don't see this task, then make sure that the Application Toolkit Component Maintenance feature is enabled at the offering level in the Offerings work area.

On the Manage Application Toolkit Administrator Profile Values page, set the Welcome Dashboard Worklist Timeout Interval profile option.

  • If you don't set a value for this profile option, which is blank by default, then the region doesn't time out.

  • Retrieving data for the Worklist region affects the performance of My Dashboard as a whole. So, select a value for this profile option if your users have the Worklist region on My Dashboard and notice performance issues.

After the timeout, users can refresh the region to try retrieving the data again.
