Description
|
Name
|
Displays the task name, with the adjoining icon indicating the shape used.
|
Est. Start
|
Indicates the time interval in which the task is estimated to start. If there is no time interval, this column displays “(none)” (for instance, in the case of the Start workstep). This value is derived by adding the duration for previous tasks. For instance, the estimated start of 4 hours for the Notify Reject task is a sum of the duration for Review Request and Exec Approve tasks. An asterisk beside an estimate (in this case, for “Request Status” and “End1” tasks), indicates that the estimate may not be accurate because there are parallel paths to reach that point..

Duration
|
Displays the time required to complete the task. The colors representing the duration are indicated as follows and are relative to the duration of the other tasks.
Red for the tasks with the maximum duration (in this case, Review Request and Exec Approve).
Green for the tasks with the minimum duration (in this case, Notify Reject and Notify Submit).
Yellow for the tasks with the average duration (that is, an average of maximum and minimum duration values). For some processes, if all the tasks have the same duration, their duration is also represented in yellow.
All durations that measure between the average and maximum values are represented in gradient colors from yellow to red.
All durations that measure between the minimum and average values are represented in gradient colors from green to yellow.
|
Priority
|
Displays the workstep priority. Supported values are: Low, Medium, High, Critical, or dataslot name.
|
Performer
|
Displays the performer for Activity, Adapter, and Subprocess worksteps.
|
Timeline
|
Provides a visual representation of the Estimated Start and Duration data for each task, without displaying the actual numbers. Each timeline starts from the Estimated Start value and continues for the specified Duration. The timeline is tabulated based on the total process time (in this case, 6 hours) with each task timeline representing the work breakdown structure. Timelines also depict the dependencies between tasks (that is, a particular task cannot start before another task is completed). If the timeline for a particular task is displayed in orange (in this case, the Request Status task), it indicates that the estimated start time may not be accurate because there are parallel paths to reach that point..
