My Active Items Widget Layout Guidance
The My Active Items widget is designed for optimal display and usability when configured using a column size of 3 or greater. This layout ensures that information presented within the widget remains readable and visually consistent across Employee Center topics.
Hinweis:
The My Active Items widget does not support column sizes less than 3. If you use a column size below 3, the widget is not guaranteed to display correctly for all screen widths. Currently, there are no plans to improve
support for smaller column sizes. We suggest you use a column size of 3 or higher moving forward.
To change the display options, see Perform an advanced activity configuration.
Summary view
The summary view displays a count of all the activities. The count for the primary activity is shown at the top of the widget. The count for the non-primary activities is shown after that. For example, tasks (9 Tasks) is the primary activity and requests (9+ Requests) is the non-primary activity. If the number of activities is zero, the summary view displays 0 next to the activity name. For example, if there are zero tasks, then the summary view displays 0 Tasks. If the count of tasks exceeds 9 in number, the summary view displays 9+ next to the activity name. For example, If there are 10 tasks, then the summary view displays 9+ Tasks.Clicking an activity in the widget opens the page that you specified in the Internal Link field of the Activity Configuration form.
List view
The list view displays a list of to-dos only for the primary activity. If you set the Tasks activity as primary, the list view displays to-dos only for the Tasks activity.
