Runs

View the Runs page to inspect previous executions of workflows and atomics in your environment.

  • Use the Workflow Runs Over Time and System Monitor widgets to view the status of all of the runs.
  • Search and filter the runs, delete single or multiple runs, and pause or resume a workflow while it is running.

  • By default, run data for parent workflows is retained for 90 days. Optionally, you can purchase an additional data retention period of 180 or 365 days. However, run data for any nested activities such as atomics and sub-workflows is retained for only 30 days. These limits are currently in place to optimize system performance.

The Workflow Runs Over Time widget shows the daily run volume for all of your workflows within the chosen date range. Click the date range drop-down to choose a date range from 24 hours to 30 days. Each dot in the graph represents the runs for a single day. Hover the mouse over each data point in the graph to see the number of runs for that day.

Workflow Runs Over Time

The System Monitor widget shows the number of workflows in each of the most common statuses. Click the date range drop-down to choose a date range from 24 hours to 30 days. Click any of the statuses to view data on the workflow runs with that status for the chosen date range.

System Monitor

When you first access the Runs page, no workflow runs are displayed in the runs list. You must search for the workflows or click through a status in the System Monitor widget to display them on the page.
