Adding Task or Notification Presentation Properties

You can add information and instructions for task owners and administrators to help them work on the task. For a notification, there is no work to do, so you can provide detailed information, as desired.

As you are creating the presentation properties, keep in mind how they will appear to users. The following illustration shows an example Inbox for a user, and the list below describes the user interface elements you can create within the Presentation tab of a task or notification.

Language (Default). For future release. A task or notification is presented in a default language, such as En-US. If desired, you can add one or more languages. For each language selected, you can fill in the remaining presentation elements in that language. For details, see Adding a Language for Task or Notification Presentation.

Priority (Default). A task or notification has a priority level, displayed as an integer, starting at zero as the highest priority. For details on creating a priority, see Task Name, Interface, and Priority.

Display Name (Optional). The property appears as the “Name” in users’ Inboxes. The maximum length is 64 characters.

Subject (Required). Short description of the task or notification. The subject is displayed on the main Inbox page. You can write this as described in Configuring Presentation Parameters for a Task or Notification Subject or Description. The maximum length of the resulting string is 254 characters.

Detailed Description (Optional). Long description of the task or notification as seen in the Task Details page of the Inbox. You can write this as described in Configuring Presentation Parameters for a Task or Notification Subject or Description and Adding a Content Type for a Task or Notification Description.

Renderings (Optional). For details, see Providing Renderings for ActiveVOS Inbox and Other Clients and Viewing the Default Rendering of ActiveVOS Inbox Details Page.
