Managing tasks in a process using Process Administrator
Process Administrator automatically refreshes the screen to display the status of that task in the State column as DONE.
Changing the status of a task to READY
If a problem with a previously aborted task has been solved and you want to make that task available again in the process, you can change the status of that task to
READY.
1. From the Tabular Details view of Process Details tab, select the row that contains the task that you want to mark as READY.
2. Click the Force Ready button on the menu bar. Process Administrator automatically refreshes the screen to display the status of that task in the State column as READY.
Viewing the properties of a task
You can view the properties of a task to help resolve problems with a process. For example, if a task has aborted, you can use this view to see if there is an error message.
1. From the Tabular Details view of the Process Details tab, select the row that contains the task that you want to examine.
2. Click the Properties button on the menu bar. Process Administrator displays the properties of that task as set in the Process Designer template.
Viewing task statistics for a process
To identify bottlenecks in a process or other problem areas, you can view statistics for tasks in a specific process. For example, if the statistics show that a particular task took significantly more time to finish than was originally planned for, you can modify that task in the process template to either increase the amount of allotted time or reduce the scope of that task.
To view statistics for tasks in a specific process:
1. From the Process Administrator, click the Process Analysis tab.
