Overview
The Workflow Items data source is one of several data sources available for creating reports in App. To learn more about data sources in general, please see: Overview: Data sources for reports (App).
With the Workflow Items data source, you can create reports that show you which workflow modules have been added to a specific workflow created on your organization’s account. You might prefer to create these types of reports to be able to take a deep dive into understanding the set up, flow, structure, and overall configurations of a specific workflow to better understand it for training, troubleshooting, or learning purposes.
You can use this data source to retrieve information about a specific workflow like:
What is the name of the workflow module?
What type of module is it?
When was it created and who created it?
When was it last updated and who updated it?
What workflow is it on?
What workflow version is it in?
In short, this data source is useful to use when you want to see and analyze a specific workflow through a report format instead of needing to log into Console and open up a workflow from there, which is especially helpful for users that don’t have the user permission for accessing Console.
This article provides common use cases for the data source and a list of its tables.
