Status Of Sub Parallel Tasks on the To Do List

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 to do list, you may want to add the Parent Task ID and Task ID columns to the list. For more information about adding columns, see Change the Column Layouts.
  1. Select the parent task, and then click Status of Sub/Parallel Tasks on the Task menu. Alternatively, you may right-click the parent task and click the Status of Sub/Parallel tasks on the menu. The parent task can be identified by the absence of a parent task ID.

  1. In the 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 in our example). A quick look at the column headings will help you identify the current status (location) of the subtasks. You cannot change the information displayed in the dialog box.
    1. Description – identifying step information
    2. Completed – indicated by
    3. Flow – name of the workflow
    4. Step – name of the step
  2. You can right-click a parent task or a subtask in the list, and then click commands on a menu. For more information about the commands, click the command in the screen capture.
  3. Click Refresh to refresh the list and display the current status of subtasks in the event changes have been made by the workflow process, for example, a task was released to the next step automatically.
  4. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
 

If you use the Kill command to remove a parent task from the workflow, all subtasks will be removed also.
