Processes

Overview

The Processes page shows background processes. Use this page to review process history, check process status, identify the creator, and retry or stop supported processes.

Use this page to:

• View all available processes in a grid.
• Search for processes.
• Review process timing and duration.
• Review who created a process.
• Check whether a process succeeded.
• Retry and stop processes when supported.

Before you begin

Required permissions

• You must have permission to list and stop processes.

info

Access to the Processes page is controlled by the role permission group named Processes.

Preconditions

• At least one process must exist before the grid shows process entries.

Dependencies

• Process entries are created by supported system operations, such as report generation or equipment-related workflows.
• Status values depend on the result returned by the related operation.
• Search results depend on the process data available to the current user.

Important limitations

warning

• The retry and stop icons are visible in each row, but the action behavior depends on process state.
