The list displayed is purely runtime information.

This function displays all workflows linked to a particular object type (for example FORMABSENC). You must specify this object type beforehand.

What is displayed?

The display of the workflow relationships has two parts. The upper part displays the workflows identified for the object or object type. The lower part displays data on the currently selected work item in the form of a simplified workflow log:

The workflow steps processed so far are listed under Step name. The steps are linked to the work item preview of the relevant work item. The current agents of the work item are listed under Agents. Click once to go into detailed display of the user data.
