Process Runs

In ReadiNow, a Process Run represents an active or completed instance of a Process execution. When a Process is launched—either manually or through automation—it creates a Process Run record that tracks the state and progress of that particular execution.

Key elements of a Process Run include:

  1. Instance Tracking:
    • Each run is a unique execution of the defined Process structure (stages, blocks, steps).
    • It captures all user inputs, task completions, and transitions.
  2. Launch and trigger details
    • Launch Source: Manual or Triggered 
    • Initiating Person: The person who launched the Process
    • Launched Date: The date the Process Launched
    • End Date: The date the process completed its final step or was cancelled.
  3. Statuses:
    • Running: Active process with steps still pending.
    • Complete: All steps are completed or skipped.
    • Error: A step or action encountered an issue.
    • Cancelled: Processes that have been cancelled mid-run
    • Not Started: The run exists but hasn't executed any steps yet.
  4. Components Within a Run:
    • Run Steps: The specific steps executed during this run.
    • Run Actions: The user actions taken during the step (e.g., submit, approve).
    • Run Status: Derived from the most recent action or failure in the step sequence.
  5. Visual Indicators:
    • Users can see the progression through chevrons or step lists, with indicators like “In Progress,” “Done,” or “Error.”
  6. User Experience:
    • Users only see steps/tasks assigned to them.
    • When their tasks are done, they see a “You’re All Done” or “You’re All Caught Up” message.
  7. Debug and Admin Controls:
    • Admins can launch runs in debug mode to test processes step-by-step without actual assignments.

These runs allow auditability, traceability, and user accountability throughout business workflows.
