The grid is populated automatically on displaying the tab for the first time, in accordance with the default search criteria.
Following subsequent execution of a search, any matching entries are listed in the Workflow Instances grid. If no matching entries exist, a message is displayed. For each instance, the following properties are displayed:
•Interaction Name
•Trigger Name
•Mode
•Last Event: date/time
•Status
•Initiated By: username
•Active: a true/false flag, indicated using a tick or cross
•Instance ID: unique integer ID of the workflow instance
•Host ID
•Interaction ID: GUID ID of the workflow’s interaction
•Initialized: date/time
Having displayed search results, you can highlight a workflow instance and right-click it to display a context menu. The following options are shown:
•Open Workflow Instance: displays the instance’s details in the Workflow Instance Viewer.
•Open Latest Parent Interaction Version: displays the workflow’s parent interaction in the Interaction Designer.
•Stop Workflow Instance: this option is only available when the workflow instance’s status is Playing or Paused (in either Test or Production mode). Invocation is protected by an ‘Are you sure?’ dialog and stops the workflow instance.
When viewing a recurring trigger that has fired at least once, and has been configured to create a new workflow instance at each instance of firing, invocation of Open Workflow Instance results in the display of a warning ('The selected workflow instance has not yet been created'). In addition, the Interaction Name is shown as blank.
