Edit Workflow Details

Viewing the workflow details page gives you a clear view about the status of a specific workflow with the ability to edit any of its settings. Let's take a tour around this page showing each feature.

Details Tab

The details tab gives you an overview of the state of the workflow.

Workflow Details Edit

  1. Workflow Summary - This area shows the name, initiator and the activation date and time. These values can now be updated in the edit mode.
  2. Workflow Attributes - Next you will see a listing of all of the workflow attributes with the ability to edit their values if needed.

Activities Tab

The activities tab shows a listing of each activity that was activated through the life cycle of the workflow.

Workflow Details Edit

  1. Activity Name / Description
  2. Activity Completion Status
  3. Assigned to Person / Group - This will show the currently assigned person or group. From this screen you can modify these values if you need to.
  4. Completion Flag - You can manually mark the activity as complete if needed. While you could also mark an activity back to Uncomplete it will most likely be marked complete again by the workflow engine the next time it runs unless you alter the completion status of some of the activity's actions also.
  5. Action List - Each action defined by the activity type is listed on this grid. You can see the last time the action was processed as well as its completion status and date. If you would like to re-run an action, you can choose to uncheck its completion checkbox. As long as the activity is still active, this action will be re-run. You can also mark an action as complete. This is helpful if your workflow accidentally gets stuck on an action due to improper configuration.

Log Tab

The log tab displays the logging messages from the workflow. The detail of the logging will be dependent on the logging level you configured for the workflow type. You can also define custom logging actions in your activities to display custom log entries. Logging is a great tool for watching your workflow to make sure that the logic you have configured is working as expected.
