Selecting a SharePoint site and list and clicking Search workflows in the Workflow Status Monitor

  1. If you open the main site, you will be able to select any subsite (or all sites) and any list on this site (or all in the list on the site).
  2. If you open a subsite, you will be able to select only a list or all lists (selection of a site will be disabled; only the current site will be displayed).
  3. If you open the list settings page, you won’t be able to select any other source of workflows.
  4. If the status monitor is used as a web part, the first three options are available depending on the web part settings.

Running workflows within the selected source can be in “In progress”, “Error Occurred”, “Completed”, “Canceled” or “Failed On Start” statuses.
