Delete the process

Open or download a report.

 

The following table describes the different features and functions that are available:

Reports

Select the Reports button then select the desired report from the drop-down list to open or save it.

 

Reports with a PI_SaveAsDocument icon will be saved automatically as POSSE documents when they are run.

w_HistoryReportCriteria

 

Set the desired criteria and select the Run Report button.

 

The report opens as a .pdf file in a new browser window. If the Audit Report item appears in the list (as the last item), it  produces a forensic audit report (without using a criteria pop-up window) when selected.

 

Workflow Error

Selecting this opens the Workflow Completion dialog. This dialog shows any queued Workflow errors (report generation failed, script execution failed to execute, etc.), and gives the user an opportunity to retry or permanently ignore each one.

 

See the Processes List Pane help topic for more information on accessing the Processes Workflow Queue to correct workflow errors on a job in StaffUI.

 

NOTE: This button only appears if the user has navigated to a process with one or more outstanding Workflow errors on it. This can be achieved in multiple ways, such as:

By selecting PI_GoToLink any process in the Processes List Pane with PI_Activity in the completed column.

By selecting PI_ToDoListWorkflowError from the current user's To Do List and then navigating to a process by selecting PI_GoToLink on any process in Results Pane of the Search Panel.  

By selecting Process Search from the All Searches Tab of the Quick Search Panel and filtering the results to include Workflow Errors Only. Then navigate to a Process by selecting PI_GoToLink any Process in Results Pane of the Search Panel

Select the i_Clear icon to remove the assignment when Assigned To appears as a Single Select widget.
