Viewing a Status Diagram
The Status Diagram page shows the process diagram for a workflow, including graphical cues about the status of the workflow and its activities.
The Current Status region displays the process title, diagram, and detail tabs for the workflow.
Process Title
The process title appears in the upper left of the Current Status region and displays the workflow process name, type, and identifier. If you drill down into a subprocess in the process diagram, the process title displays the subprocess name.
Process Diagram Window
The process diagram window is a scrolling canvas that displays the diagram of the workflow process or subprocess currently listed in the process title. This diagram is identical to the diagram created in Oracle Workflow Builder. Note, however, that you cannot use the Workflow Monitor to edit this diagram.
The process diagram window provides graphical cues about the status of the process and its activities.
- An activity icon may be highlighted with a colored box to indicate that it is in an "interesting" state. The following table shows what state each color indicates.
Red
| Error
| ERROR
|
Green
| Active/In Progress
| ACTIVE, NOTIFIED, DEFERRED
|
Yellow
| Suspended
| SUSPEND
|
<none>
| Normal
| COMPLETE, WAITING, NULL
|
- Any transition (arrow) that has been traversed appears as a thick green line, while an untraversed transition appears as a thin black line.
- Click an activity icon in the diagram to select it and update the detail tab window to display information about the activity.
- Click any empty space in the diagram to deselect the currently selected activity icon and to refresh the detail tab window to display information about the current process as a whole.
- Double-click an activity icon that represents a subprocess to drill down to the diagram for the subprocess. This action automatically updates the process title to reflect the name of the subprocess and updates the detail tab window to display information about the subprocess as a whole.
Alternatively, you can select the subprocess activity and choose Zoom In to drill down to the diagram for the subprocess. Choose Zoom Out to navigate back to the higher level process.
Detail Tab Window
