Drilling Down and Raising the Priority of a Work Item

Prerequisites

You must use the Openspace gadget version of the Process Monitor dashboard. This functionality is not available from the standalone version.

Procedure

  1. Login to Openspace as the Front Desk team leader, Richard Cresswell (password "tibco123").
  2. Open the Process Monitor dashboard on the JasperReports tab.
    The data displayed is filtered for the Front Desk team.
  3. To drill down and see what work is outstanding for the Claims process, click the Claim process on the Outstanding Processes report.
    The other reports are redrawn to show just the data for the Claims process.
  4. On the Outstanding Tasks report, click a bar that shows tasks allocated to My Team.
    The Work Allocation report is redrawn to show how these tasks are allocated to the team members.
  5. Click one of the team members on the Work Allocation report.
    The Offered Work report is redrawn to show the details of the tasks allocated to this user. The report's title is also updated to show the user's name.
  6. To raise the priority of one of this user's tasks, click the arrow in the Raise Priority column on the username Work report.
    A Priority has been raised message is displayed.

Result

The dashboard sends a request to the BPM runtime to increase the work item's priority by 10.
Note: You will not see the new Priority value until:
  • the BPM runtime has processed the request and audited the event to the ActiveMatrix BPM central event database tables, and
  • you force the dashboard to redraw the username Work report. You can do this by clicking another user on the Work Allocation report, then clicking the original user again. (If no other users have work allocated for the selected task, you will need to first click another task on the Outstanding Tasks report, then click the original task.)

See Raising the Priority of a Work Item for more information about how this functionality is implemented by the Process Monitor dashboard.
