Status of Flow Tasks

Submit a flow and monitor the status of an entire flow and the tasks within it from the generated checklist. Review the status of a flow by checking the status icons and notifications.

The task status determines what actions you can perform, such rolling back the task.

This topic covers:

• Task status and available actions

• Notifications

Task Status and Available Actions

Flow or task owners update the status of manual tasks, and the application automatically updates the status of automatic tasks. Monitor the progress of a task by reviewing the percentage completion of the task.

The Action menu displays the actions available for a task based on its status, as shown here..

Notifications

Update the flow pattern to have notifications sent to you to remind you of upcoming tasks or to warn you of tasks that are overdue. Completing a task removes its notifications.

The setup of notifications include:

• Specifying the type of notifications and when to send them on the flow pattern

• Specifying the number of days before the application automatically deletes a notification for the Notification Expiration Offset parameter on the Payroll Process Configurations page. To open this page, use the Payroll Process Configuration task from Quick Links on the Home page.

Note: You receive notifications when you resubmit a task but not when you select Force Resubmit from the Actions menu.
