SRM approval work item in UWL 6.0

[Stephens, Monique S L]

Comments from our technical person in regards to the back button removal:
 
In our portal, we use the Default Framework Page.  One of the objects provided there is the Page Title Bar.  The Page Title Bar contains History, Back, Forward, and options links for portal navigation.  In the case of the Back button, it goes back to the last top level navigation that was selected
by the user.  For instance, assume the user selected Content Administration from the top level navigation and then clicked on Go Shopping.  Then, assume they went into several screens under the Shopping.  If they then clicked the Back button on the Page Title Bar, they would be sent back to Content
Administration, not the previous Shopping screen.  In our case, we made the entire Page Title Bar invisible to remove this Back button.

Hi Monique,
 
Thanks for your quick response. I'm still struggling why "Back to approval" link doesn't show up when I go through UWL. 
You mentioned that you have disabled/removed Back button from the page or portal itself. How did you do that? I didn't see any property for "Back" in UWL iView.
 
Thanks.

I can speak from experience that any back button other than "back to approval" locks the users. We are struggling with this problem right now.  We just warn the users to not click any other back button.  We have even gone so far as to physically remove the back button from the portal itself.  Now,
the users only have "back to approval" and the internet back button (which they tend to click on as well).

I don't believe we did anything special to make "back to approval" appear.

Hi Bijay,
 1) Can you see the "Back to Inbox" link.
 2) Regarding Locking of users : Ideally Portal Creates new session every
time you visit the approval page, hence even if you use back button from
portal , it should ideall not get locked.
 which version of EBP and Portal you are using.
