    Thanks you for your idea nad clarification. At this point, you would need to create a custom widget (or in our strategic UI framework, a UI View) to handle this. The search queries to the backend are returned paged so that would add complexity to any approach.

    Our strategic direction with UI is to leverage the Clientside Human Services (CSHS) framework that is part of BAW. In BAW 24.1, we added support for a CSHS based task page that shares its task list view with Workplace (the general task user interfaces).

    Any future work will be done in coordination with shared component.

    Hi Dave, UOB need to have the multi - level tasks sorting in BAW UI. Currently it can sort based on only one default field which is configured somewhere in the workflow. UOB need to have minimum 5 field configured for default sorting (order by field1, field2, field3, field4, field5). Also user should be able to modify the default nested sorting based on their setting. For any clarification, I can arrange a call with UOB BAW technical team for further discussion.

    Just to confirm, are you referring to the task inbasket widget in the BAW Case Client UI?
