UWL - STILL having problems creating view with custom attributes

Well, I thought all my problems were solved until I modified my file
again and re-uploaded to include more attributes. Again, nothing shows
in the columns, although the headings are there. I go to lunch. When I
come back, one of my colleagues can see the new columns with the
attributes populated on her UWL, however mine are still blank! Even
after I log off and log back on!
Does this sound like an issue for OSS? I can't think of anything else
to do...

Alexis,
Need the container definition of your work item as well i.e. technical
id of your container elements and their data definition.

Jocelyn,
Thank you so much for your response! My code is below. I'm trying to
get one attribute from the BOR and the other attribute from the
container, and neither is working...
My code to assign the custom attribute to the item type is as follows in
the uwl.webflow file:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.SAP_R3_HumanResources_TS93100081"
connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="FocalPointView"
defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_HumanResources"
externalType="TS93100081" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<CustomAttributes>
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR"
objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="BUS7022"
cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="MANAGERNAME" type="string"
displayName="Manager" />
</CustomAttributeSource>
<CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER"
objectIdHolder="externalId " objectType="WebflowContainer "
cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="ORGUNIT" type="string" displayName="Org Unit"
/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
</CustomAttributes>
<Actions>
<Action name="launchIView" userDecision="no"
handler="IViewLauncher">
<Properties>
<Property name="iview" value="
com.sap.pct.hcm.wcpmain.approval"/>
<Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default="launchIView"/>
</Action>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
Here is my code for the view from the uwl.standard file:
<View name="FocalPointView" selectionMode="NONE" width="98%"
supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.SAP_R3_HumanResources_TS93100081"
columnOrder="subject, createdDate, MANAGERNAME, ORGUNIT"
sortby="createdDate:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10"
headerVisible="no" queryRange="undefined"
tableNavigationFooterVisible="no" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV"
refresh="-1" dueDateSevere="0" dueDateWarning="0"
emphasizedItems="unread" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes"
dynamicCreationAllowed="yes" actionPosition="top">
<Descriptions default="Focal Point Approval">
<ShortDescriptions>
<Description Language="en" Description="Focal Point
Approval"/>
</ShortDescriptions>
</Descriptions>
<DisplayAttributes>
<DisplayAttribute name=" MANAGERNAME" type="string" width=" "
sortable="yes" format="medium" hAlign="LEFT" vAlign="BASELINE"
maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes">
<Descriptions default="Manager">
<ShortDescriptions>
<Description Language="en" Description="Manager"/>
</ShortDescriptions>
</Descriptions>
</DisplayAttribute>
<DisplayAttribute name="ORGUNIT" type="date" width=" "
sortable="yes" format="medium" hAlign="LEFT" vAlign="BASELINE"
maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes">
<Descriptions default=" Org Unit">
<ShortDescriptions>
<Description Language="en" Description="Org Unit"/>
</ShortDescriptions>

</View>

Hi Alexis,
No you have added your view correctly - a subview within tasks is what
will be created. This is the correct process and display when you are
using
the TAB mode for navigation.
If you want hyperlinks change the navigation mode to the Overview mode -
you can set this for everyone in the Portal Content Directory if you
wish.
In Overview mode all of the subviews show as hyperlinks whenever you
select the UWL from your portal menu.
Your releases are fine - custom attributes should be working - suggest
you send through a sample of your XML coding - you must have something
not
quite right in there.

Subject: [LIKELY JUNK]UWL - problem creating view with custom attributes
All,
I know this general topic has been discussed before, but not in terms of
the specific problem I'm having. Hopefully there are some UWL gurus out
there that can help me!
I'm trying to add a view with custom attributes using the PDF document
"How to Configure the Universal Worklist". I have successfully added
the view by defining it in my uwl.standard.SAP_R3_HumanResources file
and assigning it to the item type for my custom task in my
uwl.webflow.SAP_R3_HumanResources file. However, instead of displaying
on the "Tasks" tab as a hyperlink as the document shows, this has added
another drop-down which the user has to select to see the view (see
below):
This is annoying, but it's not my only frustration. I have tried
unsuccessfully to add custom item attributes, as the guide says you
should be able to pull over attributes from the BOR or from the
container at runtime. This is not working for me, even though I have
modified my uwl.webflow.SAP_R3_HumanResources file and uploaded with
priority medium as instructed. I'm on NetWeaver '04, EP 6.0 SP14. The
R/3 version is 4.6C. Is this document not compatible with the version
I'm on, or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Alexis
