Start date

Start date and time of the process instance.

End date

Trace data available

This checkbox is selected for process instances that were run while the [Trace enabled] checkbox was selected on the process properties page of the [Process library] section for the corresponding process.

Duration, days

Duration of the process instance in days, hours, and minutes. Values are calculated when the process ends. The fields are not displayed on the record page but can be displayed in the list.

Duration, hours

Duration, minutes

Process status

Current status of the process instance: “Running,” “Completed,” or “Canceled”.

The “Error” status indicates that the process instance has stopped due to an error in one of its elements.

The “Canceling” status indicates that the [Cancel execution] command was run for the process instance, but it has not stopped yet (e.g., the command was run for multiple instances and the current instance is waiting for its turn to stop).

Parent

Name of the parent process. The field is not displayed on the record page but can be displayed in the list.

Process items

This block contains a list of steps in a selected process that have been completed or are currently running.

Caption

Depending on the selected process item status, some additional buttons may be displayed:

  • [Run item] – resume the process from the selected step. This action is available for process items with a "Running" or "Error" status.

  • [Show trace data] – view parameter values of the currently highlighted process element. Trace data displays the element parameter values at the time when the element was run (incoming parameter values). If the element status is “Completed”, the trace data will also include the values of the element’s parameters at the time the element was completed (outgoing parameter values). The button is available for processes where the [Trace enabled] checkbox is selected on the process properties page of the [Process library] section.

  • [Download error description] – save a file with the description of the error, which occurs during the process item, locally using browser tools. The description file will be saved as TXT. This action is available for process items with the "Error" status.

Process items that correspond to sub-processes display as clickable links. The appearance and behaviors of the sub-process links depend on the execution mode of the sub-process:

  • Links to single-instance sub-processes lead to the sub-process instance page of the process log.

  • Links to multi-instance sub-processes have a trailing “(multi-instance)” string. They lead to the process log subsection associated with the parent sub-process (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 Sub-process subsection

It is similar to the main [Process log] section with the following specifics:

The name of the subprocess is appended to the title of the subsection.

The “Dashboards” view is not available.

All available records correspond to sub-process instances of the same sub-process.

The “Iteration” column is available to denote different sub-process instances.

Connected objects

This block contains a list of the records that are connected to the selected process instance. For example, a sale process can be connected to a certain account, its primary contact and the contract signed after the sale has been closed. In this case, the [Connected objects] block will contain links to the corresponding records: account, contact and contract. then the information on this detail is added automatically and cannot be edited.

Object

Name of the connected object. For example, “Account”, “Activity”, or “Document”, depending on the system object type.
