Viewing activity details

Open a task activity directly from the process instance information to view specific activity details in a separate panel. Activity details include status, assignee, and the business process tokens.

Procedure

   • Business process design (BPD) name

   • Activity name

   • Process instance status (the execution state of the activity) such as New, Closed, or Received
   • Error information (when applicable)

   • Assignee name (the user that this task is assigned to)

   • Actions that can be taken, such as Retry or Escalate (See "Process Inspector task actions" for a list of actions and descriptions.)
   • Location list and related data, such as Location: Interviews and Data: employee name; department

   The Expand icon () next to an error message indicates there is additional information available (such as stack trace, location, date-time, and so forth).

2. To view error details, click the Expand icon ().
   The Runtime Error Information window opens.

3. After you review the error information, close the window.
