When a Process is run, it creates a new Process Instance. Every Process Instance has its own run time, end result, duration and processed data among other variables.

Process Instances can be found by using the Process List View by selecting to see the Instances from the options for the actual Process itself or through the API management, if the Process can be triggered by using an API.

When looking for Process Instances from the Process List View you must first find the Process you are interested in. The previous course shows you details of how to find a particular Process by name, Tag or another identifier.

All of the Processes can be found from the regular Process List View, but if you are interested in a certain API endpoint, it is also possible to find those Instances directly under API Management. This is useful with large APIs when search could otherwise return a set of Processes that is too large to handle conveniently. Also, when testing or referencing the functionality of a particular API, going through API Management may be faster and a more straightforward method.

There is a separate course for API management, so here we will just concentrate on finding the Processes and Process Instances.

The Processes that are linked to API endpoints can be found from the API List View by selecting the correct API from the list and the endpoint.

You can see the name of the Linked Process in Methods section of the selected API. Clicking the meatball selector will also open actions for the particular Linked Process.

From here we are interested in the "Show process instances" and "Show in process list" views. The "Show in process list" button will take you to the regular Process List View, where this particular Process is shown with a grey background.

"Show process instances" will take you directly to the Process Instances List View.
