   The Workflow Details page appears with a list of action history, task history, and workflow messages.

   Section	Description
   Action History	Shows every completed action associated with the workflow in order. Actions are added to the bottom of the list, so the first action to have completed is always at the top of the list. The action's start and end times and its time taken to complete (duration) are shown. Many workflow actions are instant, so expect to see many durations of "0 minutes."
   Task History	Shows the status of tasks created by user interaction workflow actions such as the Request approval action. Status includes start time, end time, outcome, and any comments entered for the task.
   Workflow Messages	Shows all messages generated by workflow actions such as Log in the history list, including time, event, outcome, and comments made by users (when required).
