Web Part Settings: My Workflow Tasks

  • Show tasks from: Set to show workflows from the current site or from all the sites in the site collection. Organizations that are licensed for the Nintex Workflow Enterprise version will be provided the additional option to choose the entire Farm.
  • Paging: Set how many items are displayed on the page by the webpart.
  • Display:
    • 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: Displays the tasks for the current user only (default) or for all users (another column is added).
    • Show the Status Column: The status indicator has three states, 'New', an orange circle and a red circle. Setting the interval here determines how much time before the "Expected duration" the red circle is displayed. The same interval is used for the other two states. For example, if the status indicator interval is set at 8 hours then the red indicator will be displayed 8 hours before the 'Expected duration' is reached, the orange indicator will be displayed 8 hours before the red indicator is displayed and all time before that, the status indicator will be 'New'.

  • Item name URL: Specifies where the user is direct to when they click on the list item name in the web part.

    • Task edit form: Directs to the edit page of the task.
    • Item display URL: Directs to the item that the task is associated to.
