Add a Task to PIM Worklist

To add an additional task that can be initiated from the EnterWorks work list, the workflow process first must be defined. The sharedConfig.properties file must be updated to add the task to the configuration. Refer to the EnterWorks 10 Installation Guide or the EnterWorks 10 Linux Installation Guide for location of the sharedconfig.properties files. All locations must be updated.

  1. Add the new task’s name to key epx.tasklist.tasks.
