Monitor Process Instance

After a process instance has been created it can be monitored.

Monitoring a process instance gives answers to the following questions:

  • Which Workflow is a process instance assigned to

  • Which Tasks are outstanding respectively have been completed

  • What is the progress in the associated diagram

  • When and in what order were which activities executed

  • How is the performance of the current process instance compared to other process instances

  • Were there errors or warnings

  • Which attributes with which values are in the current global scope.

All these information can be obtained by the Process Instance Details dialog. There are several ways to access the Process Instance Details dialog:

First of all you can choose between the Repository and the Portal as entry point. Then you can either

  • navigate from the dashboard onwards

    • directly double-click on one of the displayed process instances in the running process instances list or press the more button below the running process instances list → double-click on the desired process instance

    • press the more button below the pending tasks list → click on the blue dot of the desired task on the far right of the task list

  • expand the Workflow node

    • click on the Instances node and double-click on the desired process instance

    • click on the Tasks node and then on the blue dotof the desired task on the far right of the task list
