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 page displays the workflow identifier as well as the following details for the selected workflow:
- Workflow Type - The workflow type.
- Status - The status of the workflow.
- Started - The start date and time for the workflow.
- Completed - The completion date and time for the workflow.
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
The detail tab window, which appears below the process diagram, is a vertically scrollable display area that provides information about a selected process or activity. The information appears as follows for each tab.
Definition Tab
- Current Location - Process display name/activity display name
- Item Type - Workflow type display name
- Activity Name - Activity display name
- Description - Activity description
- Activity Type - Process, Notice, Event, or Function
- Result Type - Result type display name
Usage Tab

Status Tab

- Begin Date - Date activity begins
- End Date - Date activity ends
- Due Date - Date activity is due to time out
- Assigned User - Role name or item attribute internal name
- Error Message - Error message (shown only if activity status is 'Error')
Notification Tab
- Current Location - Process display name/activity display name
- Recipient - Recipient of notification
- Status - Notification status
- Begin Date - Date notification is delivered
- End Date - Date notification is closed
- Due Date - Date activity is due to time out
Note: If the selected activity is a notification activity where Expand Roles is selected, but no response is required, then the recipient shown is simply the role, rather than the individual users in the role.
You can also select the Return link to return to the previous page, or choose Notification History or Participant Responses in the side navigation to navigate to the corresponding Status Monitor page.
