Webcenter PS3 Spaces Taskflow Editing.

WebCenter PS3 represents the rationalization of many of Oracle's acquired technologies in the Enterprise 2.0 space, into a single, enterprise portal platform. In Webcenter PS3 spaces, lots of new features are introduced. One among them is customizing taskflow in Wecenter PS3 spaces itself. Using this feature, we can edit the System pages and change the brand and look and feel. 

 Please find the below screenshots and notes,  

 1.       Login to the Webcenter Spaces and click on ‘Administration’ Link  
 2.       In the Administration page, select the ‘pages’ tab and select ‘System Pages’ link. This page will list all the system pages and we can see two options for each page, ‘Customize’ and ‘Restore Default’  
3.       Select any system page for customizing and click on ‘Customize’ link. This option will edit the selected system page using Oracle composer.
4.       In ‘Editing Page’, we have two options, ‘Design’ and ‘Source’. We can edit the components in either design mode or source mode.
5.       Click on ‘Page properties’ button  and edit the background color.
6.       Go to the Source mode, select the region and click on ‘Edit Task Flow’  
7.       Click on any component inside the Task flow and click on “edit’ button. Customize the components based on the usecase.

 The main advantage of this feature is we can brand the pages based on the user experience and feel. The main thing we need to remember is task flow modifications we make on this option will impact all instances of the task flow throughout WebCenter. If we have done any changes and we need to revert back to the original one, go to the System page and click on ‘Restore Default’ of the edited page.
