Work with Task History
Task History gives you a complete record of all tasks that have been acted on — whether completed, cancelled, or submitted. After an approver takes an action on a pending task, the task moves from Pending Tasks to History for tracking and reference. This provides an audit trail of who acted, when they acted, and what status was assigned to each task. If an approver doesn't take action, the task stays in Pending Tasks until an Admin cancels it through the Admin View. Task History helps your organization maintain accountability, troubleshoot workflow issues, and meet compliance requirements by keeping a clear log of every human decision point in your automated processes.
