That is correct, after a workflow instance is cancelled it no longer exists, so there are no details to see.

You have two choices.
You can store some sort of log of a historical workflow.
or do not cancel the workflow instance in the first place, possibly keeping it in an End state until it is no longer needed.

Or are you reporting a bug on the webclient?

Hi I have a question:
I don't understand what you mean with the historical workflow log.
Can you still see the details of the document after you've created this log?

What I mean by a "historical workflow log" is some sort of application specific document that gets generated as a workflow progresses. So, for example in a multi-stage approval of a single document, you could attach a child document saying who approved and when. The contents of that file would be specific to your application, but at its simplest could just be a line of text. "Fred Bloggs approved 01/01/2010"

Hi All,

Is there anything that can be done in order to display the details page. I still want the other aspects of a document to be available for the users.
Any help is useful.

Thanks,
