View workflow map and status
From an open work item, you can display the workflow map, see which steps
have been completed, which steps are active, the status of milestones,
and other information about the workflow.
To display the status of the running workflow
- From your Inbox, open a work item that belongs to the workflow you
want to view.
- On the work item toolbar, click Status.
If Status is not displayed, the option is not available
for this work item.
Status information displays in a Tracker window, which is divided into
two parts. The upper area (Map area) displays the main map
and any submaps of the current workflow; the lower area (History
pane) displays information about the running workflow.

The Tracker application displays the Workflow map and history pane, as
shown above. Select the steps in the workflow map or a tab in the History
pane to display the information you want. If you are assigned as the tracker
for this workflow, the properties pane also displays, allowing you to
make changes in active work items.
- To display the workflow
map or any submaps, select the name of the map from the list on
the Workflow map toolbar.
- To display milestones (of any level) defined for this workflow, click
the Milestones tab. A milestone that
has been completed displays its name and message. A milestone that has
not been completed displays only its name.
Choose the milestone level you want to display from the Show
milestone levels selection box.
- To list steps that have been completed and any steps in progress,
click the Workflow History tab. For
further information, click Help in the Tracker window.
- To display the history of one or more steps, select the steps in the
workflow map. If a step has been visited (in progress or completed),
the Step History tab displays the information
from the event log. If the step has not been visited, there is no information.
In the table of step information, the Occurrences column shows the
number of times that a step has executed in a cycle. The Response
column shows the response the participant selected. The Comments column
shows any comment the participant entered.
- To list active work items in the current workflow, click the Work
Items tab.
