Tracking window in Rayflow is a feature-rich progress tracking functionality that enables a user to monitor a task’s progress and status over time, through the defined phases in a workflow process.
The Tracking View
The tracking window can primarily be divided into five major sections:
•Tracking View: Symbolically shows the progress and status of tasks through the phases of the project
•Show my tasks only:When this option is selected, the tracking view is automatically filtered to only show the tasks with are assigned to the logged in user
•Package List: Name and properties related of a package/task is listed in this section for tracking
•Phases: All the phases within a project are shown here and the tracking of tasks is done against them
•Search: Allows users to search packages/tasks from the package list and consequently show its tracking information in the tracking view
The progress of a task is shown using a graphical progress graph with icons representing the status of the task in a particular phase. Below is the list of status’s associated with each icon:
Icon |
Name |
Short |
 |
Finished |
This phase is finished for this package |
 |
Open |
This Package is not yet in process (Status Open /New Tasks ) |
 |
Deleted |
The package was canceled |
 |
Active |

 |
Rejected |

 |
Hold |
The process of the package was set on hold. |
Furthermore, when the mouse is hovered over an individual icon, it shows the last person who worked on the task in the respective phase, time and last updated status. Also when an icon with a Finished and Deleted status is clicked upon, a dialog showing the history of status updates for the task is shown. When other status icons are clicked upon, the task is opened in the Tasks Window under its respective phase.
