In Workspace, the processes that a user can start are displayed
in categories in the left navigation pane. You can set up the categories
in Administration Console, or process designers can set them up
in Workbench. When process designers creates processes, they assign
them to categories.
When you specify category names, create them so that they appear
properly in the Workspace navigation pane. By default, the left
navigation pane has a fixed width of 210 pixels, which is approximately
24 characters. If the category name that you specify is too long
to fit within the fixed width of the left navigation pane, it is
truncated. The full name appears only when the mouse pointer is paused
over it. Try to avoid category names that will be truncated. The
following examples illustrate category names that fit and those
that are truncated:
- Category name that fits:
- Attendance & Leave
- Category name that is truncated:
- Attendance & Leave (United States)
In Workspace, processes within a category are typically displayed
as cards on the Start Process page. In general, six cards can be
displayed on the screen for a category before the user is required
to scroll to view remaining cards. Because scrolling makes it more
difficult to find a process, consider limiting each category to
six processes or, depending on your resolution, limiting the number
of processes that can be displayed on the screen without requiring
any scrolling.
If you are using MySQL as your LiveCycle database, Administration
Console cannot differentiate between two category names that differ
only in the use of extended characters. For example, if you create
a category named abcde and a category named âbcdè, they are considered
the same.
