When an instance has been created (see Creating a Process Instance for details), it appears in the instance list. You can access an instance via the instance list as long as it is not finished.
You can define yourself how the content of the instance list should look like. See Configuring the Instance List for details.
The instance list shows all running instances that have not yet been processed to the last service step. Open an instance by clicking on it.
The instance will open in the relevant form so that you can continue to process the instance.
A progress view is displayed...
... if an open process instance is in a state where no forms have to be filled.
... if the instance is in a state that your role is not allowed to see.
You can wait until the process reaches the next form (or the process end) or switch back to the overview and proceed with another instance.
Instance List Options
The instance list is not a mere overview, it also has other functionalities to offer:
Use optionRefreshto update the instance list.
Select the process start you want to trigger from the drop-down menu.
Use the search field to apply a filter to the content of the instance list.
The number of hits is displayed in the footer.
If the process is role-based, role labels are displayed - one for each role assigned to your user. Click a label to view only the instances allowed for that role.
