Hello Team,

Is there a substitute for tw.system.retrieveTaskList() JS API, because this design always enforces current user authorization.

Requirement is to fetch task list irrespective of current user's authorization.

Thanks Don William, but I doubt with TWSearch my requirement will be achieved. 

The requirement is replicate the Team Performance dashboard in tabular format , irrespective of user roles( may be we can say all users).

The OOTB dashboard restricts it to the managers only, where the tw.system.retrieveTaskList() JSAPI is used.

Hello Team,

Thank you Thong Huynh for the question .

Let me try to explain you step by step, hope it will help us to move forward with our discussion. 

1) We have OOTB JS API tw.system.retrieveTaskList() , for which the input the is taskListProperties BO which has collapsedRiskStates as one of the variable , based on which the task List is returned in form of taskListData BO. So, whatever dashboard /values/ task lists are generation happens it is based on the risk status mainly as  On Track , At Risk , Overdue etc. 

2) As tw.system.retrieveTaskList() is restricted to manager's group and it also enforces the current user's authorization we cannot achieve the above functionality for all user.

3) Now, the challenge coming to the designing of the above functionality using  TW Search is that we dont have the option to  bifurcate the task list based on the risk states(On Track, Overdue and At Risk) that are shown Team Performance dashboard.  We can get the list of task based on the team, users , task states but we did not get the option based on the risk state.

If we try to manipulate the list based on the Due date which is available. Firstly, we may not get the task list count exactly the same as the API returns they are chances of discrepancy. Secondly, if the the number of list count is on higher side there is definitely going to be performance related issues. 

Any inputs would be of great help, and if any of my understanding mentioned above is wrong , please let me know.

Hello Thong Huynh,

This is clarification regarding point 1 of your response  -

retrieveTaskList API  has scope of current process instance as well as of process application. So,  basically it returns values for tw.system.currentProcessInstance.retrieveTaskList() as well as for tw.system.retrieveTaskList() which is of process app scope.

For our design we have used the Default Task List Service OOTB available service of Dashboard toolkit, this is the same service which uses tw.system.retrieveTaskList() for fetching the results in taskListData BO. The reason of using this service instead of direct API is because we are implementing in CSHS where this system namespace API is not allowed. 

Coming to point 2 of the your response - 

The dashboards uses this particular API to populates it dashboard because the response of the API has the values of At Risk , Overdue, On Track etc. And the behavior of the OOTB dashboard and customized dashboard remains the same compared to the authorization and the reason is of this particular API tw.system.retrieveTaskList() . 

To view the dashboard - 

It is not the managers team but the user has to be part of the Instance Owner team which is defined in the overview tab of process to view the dashboard.

Also where the tagged Instance Owner team should have Manager's Team tagged in team configuration of Manager's Team in manager section of Team tagged. 

So if Manager's Team is not configured/ tagged in Instance Owner team, then dashboard will not be authorized for viewing.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you Thong Huynh for that thought.

The reason we did not back that approach is because its not the best practice to put all the users in there as per the IBM documentation.
