Creating a User Interface Using a Web Page URL

This topic describes the procedure to create an external user interface using a web page URL.

Before you begin this task:
Create a project in CWS.

User interfaces built for your applications in Process Platform can be accessed from the CUSP. By creating an interface for a Web-based application, you can define the authorization or access level for a user on that application. This access control setting will enable or disable activities for that user. You can create an interface for external applications such as HTML and JSP.

  1. Select a starting point and click (External User Interface) to create a User Interface using Web pages. The Untitled External User Interface - External User Interface window appears.
  2. Provide the Name and Description of the interface in the respective fields.
  3. Specify the relevant details in the Untitled External User Interface - External User Interface window.
  4. Click (UI Task Properties) to configure the properties of the external user interface.

    Note: To create a delivery model, click on the toolbar, and click in the Children - Untitled External User Interface pane. For more information on the procedure to create a delivery model, refer to Creating a Delivery Model .

  5. Click . A user interface is created for the intended Web page. You can view it in the Workspace Documents window.

    Note: Process Platform relies on the native authentication mechanism, if any, of the external user interface.

  6. You must publish the user interface to deploy it in the current organization. The user interface is published and is available as a task for the runtime assignment.
  7. Assign this task to the user. The user interface is displayed as a task on the My Applications App Palette.

A user interface is created using the URL of a web page.

Note: To delete the external user interface, do any of the following:

  • In the My Recent Documents view - Mouse over the user interface and click . Select Delete option on the context menu.
