View status

From an open work item, you can display the workflow map, see which steps have been completed, which steps are active, the status of milestones, and other information about the workflow.

To display the status of the running workflow

On the open work item page, click Status. If there is no Status button, the option is not available for this work item.

Status information displays in the Process Tracker window, which is divided into two parts. The upper area (Map area) displays the main map and any submaps of the current workflow; the lower area (History pane) displays information about the running workflow.

The Process Tracker application displays the Workflow map and history pane, as shown above. Select the steps in the workflow map or a tab in the History pane to display the information you want. If you are assigned as the tracker for this workflow, the properties pane also displays, allowing you to make changes in active work items.

• To display the workflow map or any submaps, select the name of the map from the list on the Workflow map toolbar.
• To display milestones defined for this workflow, select the Milestones tab. Choose the maximum milestone level you want to display from the Show milestone levels selection box. A milestone that has been completed displays its name and message. A milestone that has not been completed displays its name only.
• To list steps that have been completed and any steps in progress, select the Workflow History tab. For further information, click Help in the Process Tracker window.
• To display the history of one or more steps, select the steps in the workflow map. If a step has been visited (in progress or completed), the Step History tab displays the information from the event log. If the step has not been visited, there is no information.

  In the table of step information, the Occurrences column shows the number of times that a step has executed in a cycle. The Response column shows the response the participant selected. The Comments column shows any comment the participant entered.

• To list active work items in the current workflow, select the Work Items tab.
