Understanding Flow Statuses

Use the Checklist or View Flows pages to monitor the status of flows or individual tasks within a flow. The actions available for a flow or flow task is dependent on the status of the flow.

The Action menu displays the actions available for a task based on its status. Each high-level status has a set of sub-statuses grouped together.

This table lists the available flow statuses and sub-statuses under each status.

Each high-level status has a set of sub-statuses grouped together as shown in this table.

A page displays only submitted processes. For example, it doesn't include pending processes because the flow has been scheduled to run at a later date.

Flow Status Hierarchy

A task flow indicates a flow that contains two or more tasks. For example, a flow that contains all the tasks your company completes for a specified payroll cycle is classified as a task flow

The Checklist displays the status of each task within the payroll cycle flow. However, the View Flows page displays the overall status of a flow, and each task within a task flow can have a different status.

For this reason, the View Flows page displays the flow status based on the flow hierarchy as given in this table. The flow hierarchy is used to display a flow status based on the task within the flow that has the most critical status.
