Symptoms

1) We have a Smartform that contains a worklist control. When we apply a custom theme to our forms the theme works except on the form with the worklist embedded within it. The worklist form accepts the theme in the dropdown, but it does not render appropriately in design or runtime when running. All other forms render properly. Is there something we have to do to allow the worklist to accept this new theme?


2) Also, is there a way to create separate worklists per task name? For example, we have a user role called "Scheduler" who has a massive task list (approximately 500-700 tasks), but they only need to access certain tasks at specific times. It would be nice to have a worklist for task 1, a worklist for task 2, and a worklist for task 3, so we can then embed each separate worklist on a different page. Allowing the scheduler to navigate to a different page for a different task. Is this possible, or do we have to just create all three separate worklists and rely on the scheduler to filter the worklists out each time they refresh their cache?
 

Diagnoses

1. When using one of the out-of-the-box theme, such as "Twilight" does the worklist control takes on the theme?

"When using custom themes, ensure to specify the CSS classes for the elements" as per the "Considerations" section in documentation below:

http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2smartforms/controlpack/current/default.htm_worklist control/worklist_control.html

Perhaps you can use the Browser's developer tool to locate which CSS classes/CSS file the changes need to be applied to.

2. Regarding this requirement, I believe you can apply a filter to each worklist control perhaps using where "Activity Name/Event Name" equals filter.

a. This can be with multiple worklist controls on the same form, but with different filters
b. Using tabs worklist control custom filter for each worklist control
c. Using different Views/Forms worklist control custom filter for each worklist control
 

Resolution

The appropriate CSS changes were made to the custom theme's CSS file to also affect the worklist control.
