Selecting Items in a List

The way in which you select items in a list depends on the type of list you are viewing.

Views List

In the lists of views, you can only select one view at a time. To select a view:

  • Click the desired line with the cursor, or
  • use the keyboard up/down arrow keys to move the highlight up or down to select the desired item.

Selecting a view causes the work items, process instances, or events that are in that view to be displayed in the Detailed List section to the right.

Work Item Lists and Process Instance Lists

The effect of selecting an item from the work item or process instance list depends on whether or not the preview feature is turned on (see Using the Column Selector):

  • If preview is turned off, selecting an item from the work item or process instance list has no effect.
  • If preview is turned on:
    • selecting a work item from the work item list causes the work item summary to be displayed in the preview pane section.
    • selecting a process instance from the process instance list causes the process instance summary to be displayed in the preview pane section.

Event Lists

Only a single event can be selected at one time in an event list. Selecting an event causes the attributes pertaining to that event to be displayed in the lower right pane.

Case View Lists

Selecting a case view causes a list of the case references that satisfy the filter criteria for the case view to be displayed in the upper-right pane.

Only a single case view can be selected at one time.
