Back ForwardWorkManager portal — Monitor Activity workspace
Reports in the Monitor Assignments category

  Show all 

TipThis topic describes the traditional WorkManager portal introduced in V5.1. As a best practice in new applications, use a portal based on the composite Manager portal (introduced in V5.5), rather than the traditional WorkManager portal.

The Monitor Assignments area of the Monitor Activity workspace support reporting on open assignments. Open assignments represent a backlog of work for human operators.

From the WorkManager portal, click the Monitor Activity bar to enter the Monitor Activity workspace. Locate the Monitor Assignments area. Click the Browse Category button (Browse Category) to list the reports in this category.

Select a link and review the status line of the browser window to learn the name of the associated summary view or list view

  Basics

These reports are based on instances of the Assign-Workbasket and Assign-Worklist classes. They are presented in separate reports — reports do not show consolidated assignments from both workbaskets and worklists.

For basic information about Monitor Activity reports and charts, see Working in the Monitor Activity workspace (WorkManager portal)

Developers can change the order and links of reports of reports in this area by overriding model rules named System-User-MyRules.AssignmentMonitoringReports. See Evolving the Monitor Activity workspace.

  Summary view reports

These standard reports are produced by summary view rules. The final key part of these rules is ALL.
