Setting Up Web Part Connections

The Web Parts can be connected with other Web Parts using standard SharePoint connections. In addition, the Process Template Web Part can act as a provider for the Process Instance Web Part.

You can also use the Standard SharePoint Filter Web Parts. For example, you can use the Text Filter Web Part to filter the Task List Web Part by Task Name. For details, see the SharePoint documentation from Microsoft.

To set up the Web Part connections, do the following.
