Distinguishing Between Clients

In the To-Do Clients, the tasks of a particular employee stand in the foreground. As evident by the name, the Process Manager Client is focused on the tasks of the process manager.

Differences between the ToDo Client and the the ToDo-client Vertical

There is no difference between the ToDo-Client Vertical and the normal ToDo-client, when it comes to functionality. The divison of the tow areas is not horizontal here, but vertical, which can be helpful, if used on a widescreen monitor.

Differences between the ToDo-client and the ToDo-client 1G

The ToDo-client 1G is displayed in one widget only. Here, the tabs 'tasks', 'tasks of my groups', 'My instances', 'completed tasks', 'search', 'search results' can be seen. In the ToDo-client, two widgets are displayed. The one on top is designed exactly like the widget of the ToDo-client 1G. The bottom one additionally offers an (adapted) preview of the smartform and a live-view of the process model. In the ToDo-client, the user can additionally see an (adapted) preview of the corresponding smartform and a live-view of the process model in the below widget. The user can choose between these two previews via tab-choice.

Differences between the process-manager client and the process-manager client 4G

In the process-manager-client, only two widgets are displayed by default: Processes/instances as well as their activities and tasks. Whereas in the process-manager-client 4G four widgets are displayed by default. Here, the graphical analysis “instances per activity” and the “live-view process model” are additionally displayed by default. These widgets can be displayed in the process-manager-client by right-clicking on a definition -> “instances per activity” or right-clicking on one instance -> “model”.
