JR46671: PROCESS DIAGRAM LIST OF EXPERTS FOR TASK OVERFLOWS POPUP (NO SCROLLBAR)

Download Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Process Portal, you can display the process diagram for a
  task from a list of tasks by selecting Process Diagram from the
  drop-down list of actions for the task.  On the process diagram
  that is displayed, clicking the task (which will be highlighted
  on the diagram) displays a list of experts (in a popup window)
  who have worked on similar tasks.  If this list is larger than
  what can be displayed inside the popup, however, the display
  extends beyond the bottom edge of the popup and overlays the
  process diagram.  A vertical scrollbar should be displayed in
  the popup, instead, to allow the user to scroll down to see the
  full list of users.

  ****************************************************************
  If there are more than 6 experts to be displayed for a task,
  the display overflows the bottom edge of the popup because
  there is no vertical scrollbar implemented in the popup.
  

Problem conclusion

• In ActivityDetailsTooltip.js (JavaScript file responsible for
  displaying the popup), a vertical scrollbar has been added to
  display the popup correctly when there are more than 6 experts
  for a task.
