Customizing the WebModel Cockpit
Applies to: viflow (subscription | 9) | Article: 1867531 | Updated on 30.04.2024
Please do not delete the WebModel's export folder before exporting again!
The comments and the cockpit settings of the users of the viflow WebModel are saved in the webmodel.sqlite file in the WebModel's export directory and merged with the updated content after another export.
It is therefore best to back up the webmodel.sqlite file so that you do not lose all comments and other personal settings in the cockpit if you accidentally delete the export folder.
In Viflow 8, for the first time, you have the option of creating an individual cockpit that clearly displays the topics that are of interest to you in the form of widgets. Here you can see, for example, whether there are new comments on your processes or whether there are changes in your processes or those you are monitoring.
Prerequisite for using the Cockpit
The integration of an Active Directory is required to display or use the cockpit in the WebModel. You will be "recognized" by the WebModel based on your Windows login information and you can then set up the cockpit individually.
Setup of the Cockpit
After the first start of the WebModel the Cockpit with the widgets My Processes, My Information and My Areas will be opened automatically.
Note: The content set here is saved and loaded the next time the WebModel is called up. In order for this functionality to be available, cookies must be activated in your browser settings.
Adding Widgets
After opening the WebModel or clicking Cockpit, you can add or remove widgets. To do this, click the [+] symbol at the bottom right of the browser window.
The widgets are arranged on the page in the order of selection, but can be moved to the desired location by clicking and dragging (drag + drop).
With a click on the plus symbol 
The widget selection opens at the bottom right and new widgets can be added or removed at any time.
Removing Widgets
If you want to remove a widget from your cockpit, click on the close symbol [X] directly in the widget.
Alternatively, open via the plus symbol 
the widget selection and deselect the corresponding entry here.
General functions of the Widgets
Resize Widgets
Depending on the content and size of the monitor, the size of the individual widgets can be changed. To do this, move the mouse pointer over the edge of the widget until you see an arrow symbol [<-->].
Then drag the window to the desired size while holding down the mouse button.
Note: The size is not infinite, but can be changed in predefined grid steps.
Sorting within the Widgets
If you click on the arrow symbols next to the column headings, you can sort them - alphabetically as in this image; A->Z or Z->A – change.
Searching in the Widgets
If you click on the column heading, the search field appears. Enter the search term or parts of it and confirm with ENTER.
The search results are displayed in the list.
Different views in the Widgets
Some widgets offer the possibility to switch the view between list (default), bar and pie chart.
To do this, click on the corresponding buttons at the bottom left of the widget.
If there are additional functions or filter options in the widgets, you will find them at the bottom right of the window.

Overview of the individual Widgets
In the selection you will find general and user-related widgets.
General widgets apply in principle and independently of the viewer/user in the entire process model.
User-related widgets start with "My ..." and contain all objects, object types and information in which you are involved as a user. The following participations are taken into account when listing the content:
>>> Processes that you can see in the properties under Participants are assigned (you must be assigned as a user to the selected area).
>>> Processes, Areas , Information Objects that you see in the Management tab under modeling, evaluated, cleared, responsible assigned.
>>> KPIs, your processes, areas, information objects affect.
>>> Approval status of processes, areas, information objects, which you can find in the Management tab under modeling, evaluated, cleared, responsible assigned.
>>> In addition, all entries for objects that you have marked as favorites in the object properties in the WebModel are displayed.
>>> All comments affecting your processes, areas, information objects and affect other objects.
The user-related widgets are marked in red in the table below.
