Process Status dialog

Use the Process Status dialog to review the details of a process and perform administrative activities on active processes. The contents of this dialog depend on whether the process is currently active, or whether you are viewing the details of a previously stopped or completed process (process history).

This dialog is available to administrators and process owners only.

Dialog overview

The top bar of the dialog summarizes the overall status of the process. The bottom section of the dialog displays information for each step in the process. When you select a step in the left-hand pane, the step details and step activity display in the right-hand pane. If a step has sub-steps, then you can double-click the parent step to show or hide the sub-steps.

All step settings in the Step Details section are read-only in this view. If you need to change step settings for a currently active process, use the Edit process definition link at the top of the dialog.

For more information on viewing process details, see:
