Articles at a Workflow Step

A workflow consists of a sequence of steps that manage a publishing lifecycle, such as Authoring or Editing steps. Each step defines a task that is assigned to a user or users. This report helps you identify and assess potential workflow process bottlenecks, such as:

  • Is a particular article or article type moving more slowly through the workflow than other types?

  • Are some owners less efficient than others in completing workflow tasks?

  • Is a particular workflow step slowing the progress of a large number of articles, compared to other steps?

Use this report to see the knowledge base articles that currently reside in a specified workflow step, and the number of days that the article has spent at the step. It is sorted by the workflow steps.
