Hi Louis,
Well, you could change the configuration for the UWL item (System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist & Workflow -> Universal Worklist - Administration).
Somewhere on the admin page you'll find 'Click to Manage Item Types and View Definitions' which allows you to enter a new configuration (as changing the standard is not allowed).
Simply have a look at the existing configurations in order to get familiar with it. In the action group there is a parameter launchInNewWindow. I put it on "no" for test purposes and taa daa it works.
Nevertheless there are some drawbacks configuring this:
- The popup (after completing the task) provides a 'Close' mechanism. If you decide to click it it will close the complete browser window and the UWL will be gone. Thus you would need to answer with 'Cancel' here and manually navigate back to the UWL.
- Same is true for the 'Close' button which is part of the task execution UI. This isn't that useful anymore.
So my general recommendation would be keeping the pop-ups as it would also allow you having multiple tasks open at the same time and does not come with the beforementioned drawbacks. Nevertheless you could try it out on your own
Best regards,
Martin
