Working with the process view
The process view is divided into two parts.
-
The upper part of the process view displays a log containing the logged data changes. You can view the data changes of a process, a user and an object.
-
The process information form is displayed in the lower part of the process view. This shows you an overview of the actions triggered in the system and the resulting processes. This displays information for the overall process and for the individual steps of a process.
You can configure the layout of process information. You can specify the level from which information is shown, for example, activities, details, or individual steps. You can restrict the scope of the information shown.
