    Is there a way to modify the inbasket display so a user can see if there is anything in it for that task - without clicking on it and opening it?

    Example:

    Inbasket
      Supervisor
      PO Approval *
      HR Manager

    You could see the PO Approval task has at least one work unit needing attention. What form or .js is used display this?

    We are on 8.0.3 Portal.

    Thanks!

      Not sure I understand...isn't the asterisk the indication that a workunit needs attention?

        I think what Terry is after is something more distinct. Like maybe changing the style of the link if there is a task needing attention? I sought for the same change (a while back) but never found a solution.... I'd like to know as well if there's something that can be done.

          If you look at portal.js, in the inbasketLoadTasks() function, you can see where it puts the asterisk on there if there are pending items...

                    We're on 8.0.3 portal. Is it a different file?

                      that I couldn't be sure of. thinking of it, it shouldn't - it should still be portal.js - i remember reading through some older portal environment docs and seems to be the same.

                        The example of the "asterik" was just what I came up with. Currently nothing indicates if there are any work units for a task - that's what I want to do with the asterik, or changing color, or some other means.

                          Isn't there still a problem of this not updating unless you refresh your Portal (browser)? Is there a way to have Portal check every 10 minutes or so for pending tasks?
