Using the Workflows Dashboard

The workflows dashboard gives you insight into key metrics about all workflows across your account. This dashboard shows you all workflows you have access to, including workflows you’ve created yourself and workflows that have been shared with you.

At the top of the dashboard, you will see the following performance metrics:the main performance metrics for workflows at the top of the page

  • Active workflows: The number of workflows in your account that are active. An active workflow is a workflow that is turned on in the workflow editor.
  • Inactive workflows: The number of workflows in your account that are inactive. An inactive workflow is a workflow that is turned off in the workflow editor.
  • Succeeded executions: The number of times your workflows successfully ran within the selected time period.
  • Failed executions: The number of times your workflows failed to run within the selected time period.

You can change the time period for these metrics by using the Show executions in the past dropdown. The selected time period is saved for your account, meaning that if you navigate away from global workflows and then come back, your time period selection will be saved.
