Completing a Process Instance

A process instance is completed when the last work item (user task) in the process has been submitted.

Depending on how your system was configured, process instances with a status of Completed may appear in the process instance list, or they may be automatically purged as soon as they complete, and do not appear in the list. And if your system is configured to show Completed instances, it may be configured to list them for a specific period of time, then they are purged.

If your system purges completed process instances, you can still view information about those instances via the Event Viewer using the pre-defined “Completed Instances” event view template:
