Configuring the Favorites Widget

  2. Click the settings icon to open the Settings pane at the bottom half of the widget.

    The widget is expanded to occupy the entire dashboard and allow you to make your changes. When you are done, click the maximize/minimize button on the widget toolbar.

    You can add to your dashboard as many Favorites widgets as you need, each displaying the contents of one of the folders you work with.

  4. Click Save and close the pane.

The functions that are available when right-clicking an object are different depending on its type.

Executing a Task

Right-click the task and select Execute.

If the object configuration requires you to enter values before executing it, the Request dialog opens up. Enter the necessary data and click Submit. For details see Requests.

See also Available Functions Depending on the Task Status and Working with Tasks.

Opening the Object in Read-Only Mode

To better understand why the objects behave as they do, you can open the object definition in read-only mode and check its settings. This is particularly useful if a task fails and the information on the Executions list is not enough to understand what went wrong.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Click the object on the Favorites widget.
    • Right-click it and select Open.
  2. The object opens in read-only mode. For more information see Defining Objects.

Removing Items from the Favorites Widget

When you remove objects or tasks from the Favorites widget you also remove them from the My Favorites list in the Process Assembly perspective.

Right-click an object or task and select Remove from Favorites.

The Executions list provides historical details on a particular activity and allows you to further process it, provided you have the necessary rights.

    Each row is an execution of the selected task. By default, the last one is displayed at the top

  3. If you want to further process a task (cancel, suspend, restart, etc.), right-click on it to open a context menu with all the available functions.

    Which functions are displayed depends on your rights and on the status of the selected task.

For details see Execution Data.
