💡

Make sure you have read the Dashboard Widget - Overview article. 

The Workflow Administration Card is used to view all the running workflows in Strato, analyze details, as well as to investigate any errors encountered by the workflows in your system. All the workflows that have been executed are displayed in a table form with unique columns that will help you analyze them.

To have a Workflow Administration Card in your dashboard, you have to create/add the following:

  1. Create a Dashboard Widget
  2. Add a Card in a Dashboard Widget (add Workflow Administration Card)
  3. Add and Enable your Workflow Administration Card

Once the Workflow Admin card is configured and enabled, as an Admin, you can now view details about the running workflows in your system.

On the top part of the Workflow Administration Card, you can use the boxes provided to search or filter the contents of the table.

  • Name - this will return all workflows that match the entered Name. 
  • Key ID - this will return all workflows that match the entered Key ID. 
  • Workflow Name - this will return all workflows that match the entered Workflow name
  • Date Range - this will return all workflows that fall within the entered Date Range. 

 

To further filter down the returned results, click the Show Advanced Search button to reveal additional fields that you can use. 

  • Execution ID - this will return the workflow that matches the entered Execution ID. 
  • Status - this will return all workflows that match the entered Status. 
  • Message - this will return all workflows that match the entered Message. 
  • Catalog - this will return all workflows that match the entered Catalog. 
  • Current Step - this will return all workflows that match the entered Step.

The table displays all the recently executed workflows in descending order with the latest workflow being displayed on top. The columns of the table are static and cannot be modified. You will notice that the columns displayed here are the same as the boxes that you can use for filtering. 

There is an option to download this table as a CSV file by clicking the button on the top right corner. 

Clicking on View Details will display a pop-up window containing a table with more columns.  You can use the search bar to search for a specific item or step that you need to analyze. 

  • Step Exec ID - Displays the ID number of the step. 
  • Sub Workflow name - Displays the name of the Sub Workflow
  • Step name - Displays the name of the Step
  • Start Date and End Date - displays the start and end date of the step as well as the time stamps. 
  • Status - Displays the Status of the Step.
