Working with Workflow Activities

The Activities category view of Workflow Console displays the activities that you have been assigned as potential owner or business administrator, and that have a state of Started. From the Activities category view, you can perform the following tasks:
  • claim an activity
  • add comments to an activity
  • change values of user-defined properties
  • release an activity
  • mark an activity completed
  • view the history log for an activity
To complete an activity, follow these steps:
  1. From the Activities category view, select an activity name, and click Claim the activity to claim an activity.
    Note: You can select an activity name and click Release the activity to release an activity that you had previously claimed. Only a SAS administrator or SAS Model Manager administrator can release an activity that has been claimed by another participant. For more information, see Releasing an Activity.
  2. (Optional) Enter a property value or change an existing property value in the Properties pane. For more information, see Editing Activity Properties.
  3. (Optional) Add a comment to the activity using the Comments pane. For more information, see Working with Comments.
  4. Select a status value to complete the activity. The workflow process continues to the next activity.
