WorkflowContext Navigator User Interface
The context navigator is a real-time control that allows users, simultaneously, to view and navigate all tasks and task steps associated with all currently running workflows.
Attributes
The workflow task navigator is situated between the task grid and Task Step panels; however, it is visible only if there is more than one workflow running. The task step context navigator appears only if there are three or more workflows running at the same time. They act as scroll bars, appearing and disappearing as tasks and task steps run. Users can scroll through the list by clicking different bars.
The size and color of the bars in the navigator change depending on how many task steps are running and the state they are in. Because these bars exist in real-time, the states change constantly. If you touch a bar, the large version of the task step displays so you can view the details of that step. When a bar flashes, it is waiting for operator interaction. Thus, it is a visual overview of production activities.
User Interface
The Task List displays two context navigators, one each for workflow tasks and task steps.
