  2. Click the settings icon () on the upper right and then click Edit Page.
  3. Click within the rich content area where the web part is to be inserted.
  4. In the Insert tab of the ribbon, click Web Part.

    Selections appear for categories and parts.

  5. Under Categories, click Nintex Workflow 2016.
  6. Under Parts, click Workflow Chart Viewer.
  7. Click Add.

    The page reloads with the web part inserted.

    By default, the following columns are displayed.

    Display

    Select the desired options.

    • Prefer filenames: By default, document titles are displayed in the web part. If there is no document title set, the document's filename is displayed.
    • Show tasks for all users: When selected, displays tasks for all users, adding a column to the web part. When cleared (not selected), displays the tasks for the current user only (default).
    • Show the Status column: When selected, displays the Status column.
    • The time elapsed between changes in the status indicator relative to the "Expected duration" days - hours - minutes: The number of days, hours, and minutes between changes of the status indicator ("New," orange circle, and red circle), relative to the "Expected duration" value.

      The time elapsed value applies to each change: Red from orange, and orange from "New." For example, if the time elapsed value is 8 hours, then the red indicator will be displayed 8 hours before the "Expected duration" value is reached and the orange indicator will be displayed 8 hours before the red indicator is displayed. Any time before the orange indicator is displayed, the "New" status indicator is displayed.

    • Show the time elapsed since the item was created: Shows the time elapsed since the item was created.
    • Display the user who initiated the workflow: Displays the user who initiated the workflow.
