Admin UI

Monitor and manage workflows from the admin dashboard — list, detail, timeline, and stats widget.

Admin UI

@questpie/workflows includes a full admin UI for monitoring and managing workflow instances. It integrates with the QUESTPIE admin panel via the standard module system.

Setup

Register the client module in your admin configuration:

questpie/admin/index.ts
import { workflowsClientModule } from "@questpie/workflows/client";

export default qa.use(adminModule).use(workflowsClientModule);

This adds:

  • A Workflows sidebar entry
  • A Workflow list page with filtering and pagination
  • A Workflow detail page with step timeline
  • A Dashboard stats widget

Workflow List Page

The list page shows all workflow instances with:

  • Status filter tabs: All, Running, Suspended, Completed, Failed, Pending
  • Auto-refresh: Updates every 5 seconds
  • Sortable columns: Name, Status, Started, Duration, Attempt
  • Click-through: Navigate to the detail page for any instance

Workflow Detail Page

The detail page provides:

  • Instance metadata: Name, ID, status, start time, duration, attempt count
  • Action buttons: Cancel (for active instances), Retry (for failed/timed out)
  • Input/Output viewer: Expandable JSON views of workflow input and output
  • Step timeline: Visual timeline of all steps with:
    • Step type icon (run, sleep, event, invoke)
    • Status badge (completed, failed, waiting, skipped)
    • Duration and timestamps
    • Expandable result/error data
    • Compensation markers
  • Log viewer: Collapsible panel showing structured logs

Dashboard Widget

The stats widget shows four key metrics:

  • Total: Total number of workflow instances
  • Running: Currently active instances
  • Completed: Successfully finished instances
  • Failed: Failed or timed-out instances

The widget auto-refreshes every 10 seconds and is contributed to the admin dashboard automatically when the module is registered.

Sidebar Entry

The module contributes a sidebar entry under the main navigation:

Clicking the sidebar entry navigates to the workflow list page. From there, clicking any instance navigates to its detail page.
