To view work that is currently in progress, you can search for workflows or work items. In addition, you can count the number of workflows or work items in a specific roster, queue, or event log.
To count or search for workflowsWorkflows |
A summary view of the workflows that are currently in progress. Process Administrator bases the summary information on the root work item. The root work item is the first work item created for the workflow; it does not reflect changes made during subsequent steps, so the displayed field values are often outdated. If your search criteria are based on fields that can change during the processing of a workflow, you should select work items instead of workflows. |
Work items |
The smallest individual piece of a workflow. The term "work item" is often used interchangeably with "step," although steps involving more than one participant are actually made up of one work item per participant. |
Events |
A list of the actions that have occurred during the course of a workflow's life. For instructions on viewing events, see View event logs. |
Statistics |
Information about system performance as it relates to workflow processing. For instructions on viewing statistical information, see View workflow statistics. |
Workflow roster |
Contains a list of all work items currently being processed. Workflow rosters contain the current location and other information about all workflows and work items. |
User queue |
Contains work items that are waiting to be processed by a workflow participant. |
Component queue |
Contains work items that are waiting to be processed by a custom Java™ or (Workplace only) Java Message Service (JMS) component. |
Work queue |
Contains work items that are waiting to be processed by any of a group of users, or by a custom or FileNet P8-provided step processor. |
System queue |
Contains work items that are waiting to be processed by a Process Engine server process. |
Event log |

TIP To limit your search to one or more specific users when searching in user queues, select the Users tab, and select the desired user names. By default, the search returns all users. See Search users for more information.
TIP Use New Search to reset the Criteria and Results Options tabs. The top portion of the search specification pane remains the same.
