End Time
Displays the date and time when the workflow ended.
Click the calendar icon in the Search filter text box to search for workflows with a specific end date.
Status
Displays the running status of the job. The status can be one of the following:
  • Failed

    Indicates that the workflow failed during execution. Based on the time that has elapsed since the execution of the workflow, you can resume the workflow from the failed command.

  • Executing

    Indicates that the workflow is being executed. The workflow executes the plan that was created in the planning phase, which precedes any other execution.

  • Successful

    Indicates that the workflow has been successfully executed.

  • Canceled

    Indicates that the workflow has been canceled by a user.

  • Waiting for Approval

    Indicates that an approval point is part of the workflow. The workflow remains in this state until the specified user approves the workflow execution.

  • Scheduled

    Indicates that the planning of the workflow is complete and the workflow is scheduled for execution.

  • Aborting

    Indicates that the workflow is being aborted. An aborted workflow does not continue with the execution; any previously completed part of the workflow remains completed.

  • Obsolete

    Indicates that the scheduled workflow has not been executed within the specified time per the schedule.

  • Planning

    Indicates the resolution of the workflow design, location of all resources, verification of design viability, and formulation of the execution plan. Planning can be a stand-alone action, part of the design verification, or part of execution because every execution starts with a fresh planning.

  • Pending

    Indicates that the workflow is in the planning queue. This is an internal status. The workflow is retrieved for planning from this status.

  • Partially Successful

    Indicates that although the workflow has been successfully executed, there are one or more steps that have failed. The execution is completed because the failed steps have been configured such that the workflow execution continues even when the step has failed.

Completed

Submitted By

Submitted At

This indicates that the job is not yet created and will be created at the scheduled time.

Recurring ID
Displays the identifier of the recurring schedule.
Schedule Name
Displays the name of the schedule.
Last Status Change
Displays the time when a status was changed.
Click the calendar icon in the Search filter text box to search for workflows with a specific last status change date.
