Workflow properties - milestonesTo facilitate tracking of the progress of a workflow, you can define key points-milestones-in a workflow. When the running workflow reaches a milestone, a specified message is written to a log file and, depending on its assigned level (1 to 99), the milestone displays for workflow participants, trackers, and the user who launched the workflow. See About milestones for additional information about where milestones display. Each milestone can be used in one or more steps. You can place a milestone either before or after an Activity step, or after the Launch step. The status message can be either specific text, or it can include the values of one or more data fields. The Milestone table displays all milestones in the workflow definition—milestones inherited from a base workflow and milestones created in the current workflow. You cannot delete an inherited milestone and you can change only the level and the message. See Workflow Preferences - Workflow to hide inherited items. Your IBM FileNet license agreement determines the level of functionality that you see in Process Designer. As a consequence, some of the options described here might not be available for your system. See your system administrator for more information. To define a milestone
