In this lesson, examine the active workflow as a workflow administrator.
To provide more work items for you to examine, go back to step 2 in lesson 3 and launch the
workflow several times and enter different data for each instance.
To examine and administer active workflows:
- Find all running workflows. For more information, see Retrieving work items and the search example Currently running work
items.
- In Process Administrator, click Find Now to see a list of the running
workflows. These workflows are running in the workflow system server and are using the default
roster.
- If there are several active workflows, complete the following steps to find the
CarLoanApplication workflow and examine the values of the data fields:
- Search for work items as indicated by the following table:
| Search result type |
Work items |
|---|
| Workflow structure |
Workflow roster |
|---|
| Workflow structure name |
DefaultRoster |
|---|
| Search mode |
Editable |
|---|
| Search Filter: General Criteria |
F_Subject (String) like Car% (The % is a wildcard for the search.) |
|---|
- View the search results. There is probably only one item. Scroll to the right to see all of the
system fields and the fields that you exposed on the Credit queue. You can see the values that you
entered for the ApplicantName, CreditScore, DownPayment, and so on.
As an administrator, you can lock the work item, change the data field values, assign a step to
another user, or terminate the workflow.
