SRM approval work item in UWL 6.0

[Bijay Shrestha]

Hi Monique,
 
Thanks for the info. I'm now able to disable the Back button.
 
I have still not found why I don't get the "Back To Approval" link
doesn't show up in UWL. I'm still working on it.
 
Thanks.

Bijay Shrestha

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.
