I believe that after canceling the workflow and task instance nodes are no longer available and there is currently no UI in Share that can display information on canceled workflows. However all information still exists in the database in the ACT_* Activiti tables.

Maybe you can connect the Activiti Explorer to these or there exists some addon for Share on the web. If not, you could also roll your own UI…a non-trivial task if you do it well.

I am curious what Alfresco/Activiti has on the roadmap for this. The ability to view history of completed/canceled workflows seems a valuable feature to me.

In explorer,
You can get completed workflows by adding "My Completed Tasks (List of your completed tasks)" in your dashboard with the use of "Configure Dashboard Wizard".
In share,
You need to write custom dashlet for adding completed task.
For cancelled workflow, I don't know how to get them.

Thanks, is it because of the community version which I am using, I am not getting it
I have uploaded my dashboard screen shot at "http://www.oss101.com/dm/MyDashBoard.png , for reference
Are you testing the enterprise edition

I tested with alfresco community version 4.0 c.
I mean in alfresco explorer, you can get completed workflows by adding "My Completed Tasks (List of your completed tasks)" in your dashboard with the use of "Configure Dashboard Wizard".

Not in alfresco share.
You presented diagram in alfresco share. For share, you need to write a webscript to get completed workflows and create a custom dashlet to show them.
Here are webscript sample.

sma_task.get.desc.xml

<webscript>
  <shortname>Testing Workflow</shortname>
  <description>Testing Workflow Listing</description>
  <url>/workflow/sma</url>
  <format default="html">extension</format>
  <authentication>user</authentication>
</webscript>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

sma_task.get.js

function main()
{
model.assignedTasks=workflow.getAssignedTasks();
model.completedTasks=workflow.getCompletedTasks();
model.definitions=workflow.getAllDefinitions();
}
main();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

sma_task.get.html.ftl

Please try for this webscript sample. I don't know how to share code in alfresco forum so so.

I tried using the above code, but did not succeed, I would ask if you can send another sample or the full sample working, so I can view completed workflows.
