Process Details Page Overview (since release 7.0)

Introduction

The Processes tab (1) of the Work-Relay application will allow the user to create and manage Processes. To view the details of an existing process, click the Process Name (2).

The Process Details header displays important information about the process:

Additionally, the buttons in the header allow the user to perform the following actions:

  • Open Process Diagram in the Process Builder (4)
  • Open the Gantt chart for the current process (5) in template mode
  • Start (6) a new instance of the current process (for processes with manual start type only)
  • Edit the Process name and manager (7)
  • Delete the Process (8)
  • Clone the Process (9)

Process Details page contains several subtabs:

Totals

The Totals subtab displays a number of charts that allow the user to visualize process execution statistics. The data displayed in the charts is defined by modifying the options at the top of the page:

  • Metrics for Process Version (10) - The Version of the open Process record.
  • Period (11) - The date range for the data that should be reflected in the charts. Process Instances started within the selected range will be included.
  • Display Sub-Process Steps (12) - An option include or exclude statistics for sub-processes included in the open Process record. (Only applicable for process that contain sub-processes.)

Similar to the native Salesforce dashboard feature, the following actions are available to users in order to display the most up-to-date information in the charts:

  • Recalculate Totals (13) - Triggers a full refresh of statistical data. All underlying Flow Step Statistics will be deleted and recalculated anew. This action should not need to be performed very often. When clicked, the user must confirm their desire to recalculate. The most recent calculation date will always be displayed next to this button.
  • Refresh (14) - Gathers all Flow Step Statistics pertinent to the Process, adds them to the current statistical data, and refreshes the charts with the updated dataset. This action is similar to refreshing a native Salesforce Dashboard.

The following charts are available:

  • Process Instance States - Displays all process instances started within the selected period, grouped by their current state.
  • Active Steps by Risk of Being Late - Displays all active steps for process instances in progress, grouped by their risk of being late.
  • Assignee Task Load - Displays the number of steps assigned to each Assignee, within the specified period, grouped by status (Active, Completed, Late).
  • Process Step Metrics - Displays the total occurrences of each metric for every step of the process, within the specified period.
  • Step Completion Metrics - Displays the steps completed across all process instances within the selected period, grouped by On Time/Late.

The Process Step Metrics chart also provides ability to see several charts related to particular step:

See proper article for reference.

The Versions subtab allows the user to view and manage process versions (34). The Versions list shows:

  • Version name (35)
  • Version precedence (36)

  • Clone (41) - Creates a non-primary, inactive copy of the selected version.
  • Start a new process instance (42) of the selected version.

The following actions may only be performed on non-primary Version records:

  • Make Primary (44) - Removes the Is Primary designation from the current primary Version record and sets the selected Version record as primary (i.e., this Version will be used when a new Process Instance is started).
  • Delete (45) - Fully deletes the selected Version record.

Note: Deleting the process version also deletes all instances started on it. This action should be performed with extreme care.

Notes and Attachments

The Notes and Attachments subtab allows the user to add and manage notes and file attachments related to current process. This table will display:

  • Type (55) of record - Note or Attachment
  • Title (56) of the record - Clicking the link will display a popup containing additional details about the record.
  • Last Modified Date & Time (57)
  • Creator of the record (58)

  • New Note - Allows the user to create a new Note record for the Process.
  • Attach File - Allows the user to create a new Attachment record by uploading a file
  • View All - Displays a popup containing a list of all records, providing separate lists of Notes and Attachments.

Each table entry has a submenu (60), that allows the user to Edit or Delete the selected entry. Additional information is available in the dedicated Notes and Attachments article.
