Creating shortcut URLs to worklists and in-baskets

You can use URL parameters to customize views of the Work feature in IBM® Content Navigator. For example, you can create a URL that opens a single in-basket with or without the tree of worklists.

About this task

The URL can save time for users because it is a shortcut to a particular in-basket and can provide a view that removes extraneous details from the user interface, such as other in-basket tabs for an IBM FileNet® P8 process role, or the work browse tree.

Procedure

To create a shortcut URL to worklists and in-baskets:

  1. Create the base URL for the work feature as described in Constructing a URL for IBM Content Navigator. For example, create a URL like this:

    http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=P8_or_CM_System&feature=workPane

  2. Append one or more of the following parameters to the work URL. Separate each parameter-value pair with an ampersand (&).
    Parameters Valid values
    IBM FileNet P8 users only.applicationSpace The display name for the application space, for example, DefaultApplication.

    Example: http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=FileNet_P8_System&feature=workPane&applicationSpace=DefaultApplication

    IBM FileNet P8 users only.role The display name for the process role in-basket, for example, Personal Work, Public Work, or Personal Items.

    Example: http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=FileNet_P8_System&feature=workPane&applicationSpace=DefaultApplication&role=Personal Work

    worklist The display name for a specific IBM FileNet P8 in-basket or for a specific IBM Content Manager worklist.

    Format: worklist=My_In-basket_or_Worklist

    Example: http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=FileNet_P8_System&feature=workPane&applicationSpace=DefaultApplication&role=Personal Work&worklist=My Inbox

    allWork=false The work browse tree displays the list of in-baskets or worklists. This parameter hides the work browse tree and displays only the specified in-basket or worklist.

    If you do not specify allWork=false, the work view tree will be built and displayed by default.

    Example: http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=FileNet_P8_System&feature=workPane&applicationSpace=DefaultApplication&role=Personal Work&worklist=My Inbox&allWork=false

    IBM FileNet P8 users only.singleInbasket=true This parameter prevents multiple in-basket tabs from opening when you specify a process role that has multiple in-baskets.
    true
    Open the specified in-basket in a tab and do not open other in-baskets in any other tabs.

    If the specified process role has multiple in-baskets and you do not specify the parameter and value singleInbasket=true, all of the in-baskets for the process role will be opened in separate tabs by default.

    Example: http://myserver.mycompany.com:9080/navigator/?desktop=AccountsPayable&repositoryId=FileNet_P8_System&feature=workPane&applicationSpace=DefaultApplication&role=Personal Work&worklist=My Inbox&allWork=false

  3. Encode any special characters in the URL, such as spaces in the display name. For example, use UTF-8 encoding to support extended character sets.

What to do next

You can distribute the URL to users so that they can access a particular worklist or in-basket directly. Plug-in developers can implement the URL in an application or portlet to display the worklist or in-basket in an application outside of IBM Content Navigator.
