Defining workstep presentations for Web applications

Similar to Business Processes, you can define the look and feel of the presentation pages for Activity worksteps in Web applications. For Web applications, you cannot change the presentation format for the Start workstep.

After you have developed a Web application, you can view it as a series of presentation pages (or interfaces) in your Web browser by entering the appropriate URL. For example, to view the BarChartDemo Web application, enter the following URL: http://<machine_name>.<domain_name>:<port_number>/sbm/BPM WebFlow/BarChartDemo/Start.jsp.

To change the look and feel of the presentation pages for Activity worksteps in Web applications perform the following steps:

1. From the General tab of the Properties view of an activity workstep, click the ellipsis button beside the Presentation box to open the Presentation dialog box.

2. Select the presentation format option from the Type drop-down list. For Web applications, the available options are Auto-generated and Custom.

3. If required, modify the presentation name in the Name box.

4. Click OK to return to the Properties view.

For more details regarding each of the presentation formats available for Web application, refer to Table 55.
