Learn about instance plan, actual and projected duration

Last published at: May 8th, 2024

This report generates a report for the plan, actual vs. projected timing for all the tasks/choices, and sub-workflow steps that are executed, waiting, and not started in the selected Instance. 

The report displays the time to execute each task/choice or sub-workflow step when the instance is executed. The Instance's “Delta Duration” is calculated based on the “Plan Duration” – “Actual Duration.”   If the step is executed within the planned start and end time frame, the “Delta Duration” is displayed in the “Green” color. All dates/times are stored within the database as UTC and displayed based on the user's local timezone. 

Note: Engine runtime data are in ISO + UTC format. 

 

If the step's actual execution time exceeds the planned time, then it is displayed in “Red” color with a negative delta value, as shown below:
