Introduction

The History View by default displays entries from the Orders sub-view. The order history includes any output of jobs in a workflow that have been passed by an order. Instead of checking individual log files of jobs a single view is available that displays the execution history of all jobs in a workflow and any output created in the lifetime of an order.

Order History View

This view displays orders sorted by descending date of JS7 - Order State Transitions.

Explanation:

The view displays the execution history including start time, end time etc. of the order and of individual jobs in the workflow.
Order variables are displayed that the order was started with.
Filtering is enabled for order states and frequently used periods.
When clicking the order id then the order log view will open.
When clicking an individual job then the JS7 - Task History, chapter: Task Log View will open.

Explanation:

Current Controller: This option specifies if results are displayed for the currently selected Controller only or if the Task History for any connected Controllers is displayed. The default behavior is specified from the JS7 - Profiles - Preferences.
