You can use the Status of Sub/Parallel Tasks command to review the status of subtasks that were created in a workflow. You can determine what workflow and step the subtasks are in and their completion status.

For more information about parent tasks and subtasks, see Parent Tasks and Subtasks. To make it easier to identify subtasks and parent tasks in the Desktop navigation pane, you may want to add the parent task ID and task ID to the information displayed in the pane. You can add these IDs in the File Navigator Options (Tasks pane) of Desktop Settings. |

parent task by doing one of the following:

Split Task Status dialog box, you will see all the subtasks related to
the parent task. There will be a row in the list for each subtask (two

the current status (location) of the subtasks. You cannot change the information
displayed in the dialog box.
