The Current Status region displays the process title, diagram, and detail tabs for the workflow. Beneath the detail tabs, the administration buttons appear.

Process Title

Process Diagram Window

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.

• 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.

Administration Buttons

• To change the values of any item attributes, select the Update Attributes button. In the Update Workflow Attributes page, enter the new values you want.

Note: You cannot update attributes of type event. However, you can select the event message link to view the event message details.

• To rewind the workflow to an earlier activity stage, select the Rewind button. In the Rewind page, select the activity you want from the list of activities that the Workflow Engine has reached. Oracle Workflow stops processing at the current activity and resumes processing at the specified activity.

Note: You cannot rewind a suspended workflow. You must resume the workflow before you can rewind it.

• To suspend the workflow, select the Suspend Workflow button. All further processing for the workflow is suspended until the process is resumed, and all subprocesses are suspended as well.

• To resume the workflow if it is suspended, select the Resume Workflow button. Processing for the workflow is resumed, and all subprocesses are resumed as well. Any activities that were transitioned to while the workflow was suspended are now executed.

• To cancel the workflow, select the Cancel Workflow button. In the Cancel page, select Apply. The Workflow Engine sets the status of the workflow to #FORCE, and all processing for the workflow is canceled and cannot be restarted.
