Using SWI6 Workload Analysis in 4.6C

[Kouw, FA - SPLXE]

Hi Kathleen,
 
If you want an end-user to see the status of a workflow related to a particular business object then 'Services
for object' is a good tool. In 4.6C you can find the button at the top-left of the screen and in the menu under
'System' (f.i. in tx ME23N or MM03). This only works if the particular business object has been defined as an
(input?) element of the workflow container. This way of reporting is especially meant for reporting to
end-users.
 
Hope this helps you.
 
Regards,
 
Fred Kouw
