In this section, you will create a task display form in the same task flow EnterQuoteDetails_TaskFlow.xml, in which you have created a task flow in an earlier section. As you will be trying to implement routers, as discussed before, you will create a task display form without product details.
In this section, you will discover how a task display form is created using individual drop handlers.
I. Creating a task display form
- In JDeveloper, go to EnterQuoteDetailsUI project | Web Content | Page Flows and click EnterQuoteDetails_TaskFlow.xml.
- In Component Palette | ADF Task Flow | Components, select View and click on the designer.
- Click View1 and enter the name
SalesQuote_ProductLessfor it. - Double-click the SalesQuote_ProductLess view; it will open the Create JSF Page dialog.
- In the Create JSF Page dialog, enter
SalesQuote_ProductLess.jspxas the filename, accept defaults, and click OK. - In the Data Controls section, expand EnterQuoteDetailsUI_EnterQuoteDetails | getTaskDetails | Return and select the Task icon.
- Drag-and-drop the Task icon onto SalesQuote_ProductLess.jspx.
- Click Human Task and select Task Header, as shown in the following screenshot:
- This will create Task Action buttons and the Task Header task.
- Again, drag-and-drop the Task icon into SalesQuote_ProductLess.jspx.
- Click Human Task and select Task History. This will create a Task History section. You can repeat the same for task comments and attachments.
- When you have completed the preceding steps, click Save.
II. Adding payload to the task display form
- Go to Component Palette | ADF faces | Layout and select Panel Group Layout.
- Drag Panel Group Layout between the header and the rest of the sections (HISTORY, COMMENTS, and ATTACHMENT).
- Go to Data Controls | EnterQuoteDetailsUI_EnterQuoteDetails | getTaskDetails | Return | Task | Payload | Quote_Request and select Summary.
- Drag-and-drop the data collection Summary to the panel layout area, as shown in the following screenshot:
- From the context menu, select Form | ADF Forms.
- Accept the defaults in the Edit dialog and click OK. This will create the payload region, as shown in the following screenshot:
How it works...
You have designed the SalesQuote.jspx file. This is the task display form (using the complete task with payload drop handler), and is available at jDev_Oracle_Home/mywork/ApplicationName/ProjectName/public_html.
The payload drop handler allows you to display chosen elements selectively in the task UI.
