# Monitor data entry workflows for a form

As a Data Entry Workflow user, you can monitor the applicable data entry workflows directly from a form to which a data entry workflow template applies. To do so, on the form’s Action Pane, you can use the options in the **History** button group.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> The **History** button group only is available on forms with a data entry workflow template that supports the **New record**, **Edit record**, or **Delete record** operation.

### Steps

1. Open a form to which a data entry workflow template applies.
2. On the Action Pane, in the **History** group, click the desired option:

Each option opens a dialog with a similar layout.
  - **In Progress**: Shows the data entry workflows that are currently active for this form.
  - **Completed**: Shows the data entry workflows that finished successfully for this form.
  - **Error**: Shows the data entry workflows that ended in an error for this form.
3. In the dialog, review the list of data entry workflows.

The list shows only data entry workflows for the current form and its applicable data entry workflow templates.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> By default, the list is sorted by **Instance ID**.
4. Sub-task: View workflow instance details.
  1. You can view the detailed information of a data entry workflow. In the list, click the desired **Instance ID** (link).
  2. On the **Workflows** page, view the workflow history, the entered data, and any errors or approvals. See also: [Monitor data entry workflows](/data-management/docs/monitor-data-entry-workflows).
  3. Close the page.
5. Close the dialog.
