Question: Can I export dashboard data for reporting purposes?
Answer: In most cases, yes. You can export summary metrics or filtered data to CSV or PDF formats to share with your team or for offline analysis
Question: What is the Error Review Summary?
Answer: The Error Review Summary highlights workflows that have misfires, logic errors, or broken conditions, allowing you to quickly identify issues that need attention.
Question: If I delete a workflow, will its historical data disappear from the dashboard?
Answer: Typically, once a workflow is deleted, its metrics are removed from the active dashboard view. If you want to keep the data for reporting, it is recommended to “Unpublish” or “Archive” the workflow instead of deleting it.
Question: If I fix an error, does the “Needs Review” tag disappear immediately?
Answer: Once you correct the error and save the workflow, the system re-validates the logic. In most cases, the tag will clear on the next dashboard refresh. If it persists, ensure that you have also cleared any “Failed Executions” in the individual workflow’s enrollment history.
