View the Current Workflow

Viewing a document’s current workflow information allows you to identify which workflow the document is in, its current status in the workflow, and the possible transitions to the next state in the workflow.

To view the current workflow:

1. On the document’s Document property page, click the Status hyperlink.

   OR

   In the view bar, click the Workflow Diagram icon .

   The Document Workflow window or page appears similar to the following figure.

   Each state of the workflow appears as a colored rectangle. The current state of the document is boldly outlined in black. The names of workflow transitions (actions) are shown in white rectangles. Lines connect each transition from one state to another state. The direction of each transition is indicated by an arrowhead. In PowerWeb, you can hover the mouse pointer over a transition box in the diagram, the unrelated states and transitions are dynamically hidden.

2. To inspect complex workflows, use the zoom tools in the toolbar or scroll the mouse wheel. Click and drag the diagram to pan.
3. Click OK to close the window.
