Using custom attributes in the UWL

John,
Portal people have been known to make "copies" of the UWL iview and point their pages to them - thereby bypassing settings and even UWL admin and XML config changes you have made. So you need to make sure that the UWL iview you are seeing in your Portal page and the UWL iview you are seeing in the preview page are one and the same.
Get your Portal folk to help you track it back to the real iview/page/portal role.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hi
I have updated the same XML as it seems you have in code below also emptied the cache and personalisation.
When I go into the portal content and down to the iViews and UWL, I have switched on the 'Support' option. From here I can carry out a preview and I see from the support info that my new xml is being used and specific reference to the decision task that I have changed the xml for, and the new view being used. The preview shows the changes ok.
BUT
When I go to the UWL, I see the old standard view and none of my changes. I have obviously missed something, is there somewhere else I need to make changes to?
Thanks
John

Create a container element in the TS task (if you are using an SAP one
you will need to copy it first and insert the copied task in your
workflow)
Bind to the element from the workflow (you may need to create a new
Business object attribute to hold the object-key without splitting it
between employee and trip number)
Now the task holds the key to BUS2089
In your XML, to read the object key you use CustomAttributeSource
id='webflow_container' to populate a custom attribute
Then once you have this value you can use it as in your code below, but
the key is now in your custom attribute not the externalobjectid.
Good Luck,
Mark

It looks like you are using a user decision?
The problem is that externalOjectid holds the object key for the
DECISION business object rather than BUS2089.
I got round this by creating an container element on the task to hold
the BUS2089 object key. You read this first from the container, and then
you can use value to read the ABAP_BOR attributes as you have done
below.

Subject: Using custom attributes in the UWL
Hello,
What i would like to do is to show some custom attributes as columns in
the UWL. In my workitem the BOR object BUS2089 (TRIP) is present, so i
thought to make use of the statement CustomAttributeSource
id="ABAP_BOR"
in my UWL xml file (see below). I would like to show the attributes
BEGINDATE and TOTALCOSTS. After uploading the xml the columns are
empty. I
also make use of the CustomAttributeSouce id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" and
that
column is displayed correctly.
I will post a part of the UWL xml configuration.
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS92200054" connector=
"WebFlowConnector" defaultView="travel" defaultAction="launchTravelUwl"
executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="UWL_R3" externalType="TS92200054"
connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<CustomAttributes>
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR" objectIdHolder=
"externalObjectId" objectType="BUS2089" cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="BEGINDATE" type="date"
displayName="Begindatum
reis"/>
<Attribute name="TOTALCOSTS" type="double"
displayName="Gedecl.
bedrag"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
<CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder=
"externalId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="ReisschemaText" type="string" displayName=
"Reisschema"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
</CustomAttributes>
<Actions>
<Action name="afkeuren" groupAction="no" handler=
"UserDecisionHandler">
<Properties>
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="mandatory"/>
<Property name="decisionKey" value="2"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
<Action name="goedkeuren" groupAction="yes" handler=
"UserDecisionHandler">
<Properties>
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="true"/>
<Property name="decisionKey" value="1"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
The View xml part looks like:
<View name="travel" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%"
supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS92200054"
columnOrder="subject, BEGINDATE, TOTALCOSTS, ReisschemaText,
approveCol"
sortby="createdDate:descend" tableDesign="ALTERNATING"
visibleRowCount="14" headerVisible="yes" queryRange="undefined"
tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="STANDARD"
actionRef="" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="86400000"
dueDateWarning="259200000" emphasizedItems="none"
displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="no" dynamicCreationAllowed="no"
actionPosition="bottom" referenceBundle="tasks">
<DisplayAttributes>
<DisplayAttribute name="approveCol" type="checkbox" width="10"
sortable="no" format="default" actionRef="goedkeuren" hAlign="center"
vAlign="Baseline" maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes">
<Descriptions default="Goedkeuren"/>
</DisplayAttribute>
<DisplayAttribute name="subject" type="string" width="10"
sortable="yes" format="default" referenceBundle="subject" hAlign="LEFT"
vAlign="BASELINE" maxTextWidth="20" headerVisible="yes"/>
<DisplayAttribute name="BEGINDATE" type="date" format="short"/>
<DisplayAttribute name="TOTALCOSTS" type="double"/>
<DisplayAttribute name="ReisschemaText" type="string" width=""
maxTextWidth="20">
<Descriptions default="Reisschema"/>
</DisplayAttribute>
</DisplayAttributes>
<Actions>
<Action reference="refresh"/>
<Action reference="submitUserDecisions"/>
<Action reference="launchMijnTaken"/>
<Action reference="UserDecisionNoteText"/>
</Actions>
</View>
I hope somebody can help me.
Kind regards,
Maarten.
