Understanding the item history chart

To view the workflow item history:

  1. From the main menu choose Automated Workflows

  2. Select a workflow

../_images/workflow-history-01.png

The blue line shows the total number of items found for each run of the workflow.

This is useful, for example, if you want to demonstrate the success of a cleanup project.

The pink line shows new items for each workflow run that finds new items.

Changing the scale on the vertical axis

By default, the vertical axis uses a logarithmic scale. This is useful when, for example, the blue line shows that you have a total of 10000 items and the pink line shows that a run has found two new items. In such a case, the pink line would be difficult to interpret if the chart had a linear scale.

To switch to a linear scale:

  1. On the chart menu, select Turn off logarithmic scale

    ../_images/workflow-history-02.png

You can switch back to a logarithmic scale in the same way.

Inspecting a run on the chart

You can choose any run on the chart and drill down to investigate further.

To see the items that a run found:

  1. Hover over the dot for that run

    ../_images/workflow-history-03.png

    NOW Privacy shows the statistics for total items and new items found

  2. Note the date of the run

  3. View the items for that run
