MyPage Task List

[Adrian Crum]

On the Main page of MyPage, the Open Tasks Assigned To Me screenlet is
empty even though I have open tasks. If I go to the My Profile tab, my
open tasks appear in the My Current Task List screenlet. I believe both
screenlets should be displaying the same thing.

Hi Adrian,
I will compare the selection criteria for both lists..however the mypage
list is the one from the project management component and the profile
one from the workeffort component.

Regards,
Hans

Hi Adrian,

the difference is as I already mentioned in the component selection

the projectmanagement has 2 selections which are project management
specific:
<field-map field-name="workEffortTypeId" value="TASK"/>
<field-map field-name="currentStatusId" value="PTS_CREATED"/>
   
these status and type were specifically created for the projectmanager
and are not used for selection in the workeffort manager.

The projectmanager will only show the tasks created there.....

Regards,
Hans

Hans,

Thank you for the explanation. Don't you think it would be confusing to
users of MyPage to have tasks appear on one screen but not the other?

I would be quite interested in hearing why this was done...

David, please look at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1509

That doesn't mention anything about having statuses just for the  
project manager component, just some talk about a series of statuses.

Why is there a need for different statuses than the main ones?

It would be a lot better to have a single set for any task management  
application based on OFBiz, especially one that is part of the  
project... hopefully we can avoid fragmentation at least at that level!

Ideally any project/task/etc management application based on OFBiz  
could run with data from another such application.

Just so you know, we're working on a fairly custom small set of  
screens (like 5-6 screens) for our use at Hotwax, and we're ending up  
avoiding much of what is in the project manager specialpurpose app in  
order to use the more "standard" patterns in the workeffort component.  
There have been various questions and discussions around this on the  
mailing lists, and a few commits from me recently to flesh out the  
data model to add little things that we ran into that didn't exist.
