ActiveVOS Designer BPEL for People User’s Guide
Rendering is the application of a friendly user interface for the task’s interface input and output messages using XSL style sheets. The style sheets transform XML messages into attractive HTML forms, including drop-down lists, radio buttons, text fields, and other details helpful to users. You can provide renderings for the ActiveVOS Inbox and other clients.
If you don’t add renderings to the task definition, Inbox users must read an XML document for the input message and write an XML document for the data returned to the process, as shown in Viewing the Default Rendering of ActiveVOS Inbox Details Page.
ActiveVOS Inbox Rendering
The Task Details page of the ActiveVOS Inbox contains all of the information a user needs to complete a task: the input data is displayed, and there is an Output/Fault text box supplied so that a user can type in the values expected for the XML variable to be returned to the BPEL process. Other details help a user to be aware of attachments, comments, deadlines, and priorities.
You can provide ActiveVOS Inbox renderings in the following ways:
Using the generated renderings feature, you can quickly create a look and feel for a Work Item. Start with the generated form for the Input, Output, and Fault data, and edit it as desired. For details, see What Are Presentation and Command XSL?
Other Renderings
In addition to, or in place of the ActiveVOS Inbox renderings, you can provide completely customized client applications for sending tasks to telephones, computers, and other devices. For details, see Creating a Custom Rendering.
