Task Dashlet

[raphaelh]

Hello,

I want to show in Alfresco Share in the Task Dashlet as a new Filter All completed Tasks, is this possible? I can't find out, how to define new Filters. But i see in Normale Alfresco Web Client there's a List containing Completed Tasks.

If it's not possible to implement this as Filter maybe a new Dashlet?

Greetings.

Funny, I've never noticed that Completed Tasks dashlet before. How long has that been there?

If you go look at the code behind that dashlet, it uses a WorkflowBean. The WorkflowBean uses the WorkflowService to find the completed tasks. Here's the code:

// get the current in progress tasks for the current user
List<WorkflowTask> tasks = this.getWorkflowService().getAssignedTasks(
userName, WorkflowTaskState.COMPLETED);
            
// create a list of transient nodes to represent
this.completedTasks = new ArrayList<Node>(tasks.size());
for (WorkflowTask task : tasks)
{
    Node node = createTask(task);
    this.completedTasks.add(node);
    //…SNIP…
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So you could definitely whip up your own Share dashlet that would display completed tasks. How much trouble a new filter would be requires further digging, but the API is there to support it, so best case, you add the filter-related code to the Share-tier web scripts and client-side JavaScript and you are done. Worst case is you do that plus you augment the existing workflow web scripts on the repository-tier to retrieve completed tasks.
