The Status Diagram page shows the process diagram for a workflow, including graphical cues about the status of the workflow and its activities. The page identifies the displayed workflow by its user key if it has one, or by its internal item key if it does not have a user key.
The Current Status region displays the process title, diagram, and detail tabs for the workflow.
The process title appears in the upper left of the Current Status region and displays the workflow process name, type, and identifier. If you drill down into a subprocess in the process diagram, the process title displays the subprocess name.
The process diagram window is a scrolling canvas that displays the diagram of the workflow process or subprocess currently listed in the process title. This diagram is identical to the diagram created in Oracle Workflow Builder. Note, however, that you cannot use the Workflow Monitor to edit this diagram.
Note: The process diagram cannot be displayed in mobile browsers, nor in the Safari browser. You must use another supported desktop browser to view the diagram. See: Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 389422.1.
Your workflow administrator can configure the display size for the status diagram. See: Setting Global User Preferences.
The process diagram window provides graphical cues about the status of the process and its activities.
An activity icon may be highlighted with a colored box to indicate that it is in an "interesting" state. The following table shows what state each color indicates.
Activity States in the Process Diagram
| Color of Box | State | Possible Status Code |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Error | ERROR |
| Green | Active/In Progress | ACTIVE, NOTIFIED, DEFERRED |
| Yellow | Suspended | SUSPEND |
| <none> | Normal | COMPLETE, WAITING, NULL |
Any transition (arrow) that has been traversed appears as a thick green line, while an untraversed transition appears as a thin black line.
Click an activity icon in the diagram to select it and update the detail tab window to display information about the activity.
Click any empty space in the diagram to deselect the currently selected activity icon and to refresh the detail tab window to display information about the current process as a whole.
Double-click an activity icon that represents a subprocess to drill down to the diagram for the subprocess. This action automatically updates the process title to reflect the name of the subprocess and updates the detail tab window to display information about the subprocess as a whole.
Alternatively, you can select the subprocess activity and choose Zoom In to drill down to the diagram for the subprocess. Choose Zoom Out to navigate back to the higher level process.
The detail tab window, which appears below the process diagram, is a vertically scrollable display area that provides information about a selected process or activity. The information appears as follows for each tab.
