Solution Dashboard

You can track process variables defined for a process flow using the Process Variable Tracker feature defined in the Solution Dashboard. This enables you to search for a particular process variable at any time. However, these variables will appear in the Solution Dashboard and can be tracked only when the developer selects the Track Variables and Retain Variable XML options in the Process Designer, while designing the process flow. For details, refer to the Creating Process Flow.

When you execute a process flow, the Process Variable Tracker checks process flow variables defined for the process flow and inserts their values in the Process Tracker tables. You can view this data in the Solution Dashboard.

Viewing the Solution Dashboard

 
Steps to View the Solution Dashboard

1. From the Solutions screen, select the Process flow and click the KPI ( ) icon against the process flow whose dashboards you want to view. This displays the Solution Dashboard screen.

2. This screen displays all process variables defined (for all parent and child process flows) for all instances of the selected process flow. It displays the instance name of the parent flow (or overridden description, if it is overridden by the developer at design time). This screen is divided into two parts:
   
   • Search Criteria
   • Process Variable Data
3. You can search for process flows and their variables, based on the date and time range by clicking the () icon in the upper right corner of the screen. This displays the date and time range fields (refer to Figure). Enter the date range and enter the time in the respective fields. Once done, click Apply button. This displays the process flows and their process variable details conforming to the specified time range.

4. Alternately, search for process flows and their variables, based on the Process Variable search criteria. Select the process variable name that you want to search, from the Select dropdown menu. Then, enter some search criteria (such as name of variable) in the text field, and click Search button. This displays the process flow(s) with the specified process variable (see Figure 33).
   
   

   You can enter wildcards in the search criteria text field.

   This screen will show the last updated value of the process flow variable.

5. You can click the Instance Name link to view the instance details in the of Process Flow History screen.
