About searching for workflows, events, and statistics

Process Administrator can search for workflows, work items, workflow events, and workflow statistics based on criteria you choose. Process Administrator provides a wide variety of options so you can focus your search very precisely. For example, you can search for all the workflows that your manager sent only to you.

You can also count the number of rows that your search will return. Note that because work items are constantly changing, the count might differ slightly from your actual results when you execute your search.

What kind of information do you want to retrieve?

You must choose the workflow view you wish to see. You can choose from workflows, work items, events, and statistics. Each view presents information about the workflow from a different perspective.

Where do you want to look?

Once you have selected the view, you must choose an area in which to search. Depending upon the view you have chosen, you can choose from workflow rosters; user, work, component, and system queues; and event logs. The table below indicates which areas you can search for each view.
