A variety of reports are available in the Web console. These
reports give you access to data extracted from the workflow log
history to help you quickly check status, identify and resolve
bottlenecks, measure or evaluate the effectiveness of workflows,
keep track of details for auditing purposes, etc. You can also
print the reports or save the data to a file.
Report options
The following is a list of the various pre-designed workflow
reports available in Process Manager.
Due date: This report lets you see which
workflows are running, their due dates and time remaining, the
contact name(s) of the participant(s), and what actions are
pending, the name of the workflow, and its ID numbers.
Workflow volume: The workflow volume report
lists the workflows on your system, when and how often they run,
etc. Details include workflow name and IDs, current status,
completion times, start and end times, and the revision
number.
Audit history: The audit history is a summary
of workflows that gives you details you can use for workflow
auditing purposes. Fields include the last update date and time,
action names, audit text, workflow name and ID numbers, revisions,
and current status.
Workflows by requester: This report helps you
list workflows originated by a particular user. Details shown are
the workflow IDs, current status, name of requester (if the
Requester field was defined in the event listener), actual
completion time, the start and end times, and the workflow name and
revision number.
Manual task actual times: You may want to
compare the completion times of workflow actions with the time
initially expected, to get a better feel for actual time required,
and for overall planning purposes. Details in this report include
actual time (days, hours, minutes), who completed each action, the
action description, completion date and time, any comments provided
by the person who completed the task, the workflow name, revision
number, and workflow ID numbers.
Errors:
The Errors report lists any workflows that encountered errors
during execution. Details in the error report include the workflow
name and revision, ID numbers, action descriptions, error
description, and the date and time when the exception
occurred.
