Update task details in vCenter web client

[apoland]

I'm getting started with vCenter Orchestrator so sorry if this is a frequently asked question.  Is there a way that a vCO workflow can influence the task status when it is called from within vCenter?  I'm developing a workflow that is a combination of several other workflows.  It would be useful for people who start the workflow as a task from the vCenter web client to be able to see which of the sub-workflows the task is currently executing.

Thanks,

Andrew

There actually is! For each element of your workflow, check the "Info" tab, if there is a "Business status" checkbox, place a check in it and then in the text box, put what you want your user to see...

Then, in the vSphere Web Client, while monitoring the workflow run, you will see this business status in parenthesis:

Thanks a bunch.  This is really helpful!
