How to manage workflow tasks and timeline

Last updated: June 26, 2026

Overview

Within the Request Details page, the requesters and task owners can view all the timeline-based activities on the workflow with which the request was created. This is represented on the left pane of the screen, visually showcasing the start to finish of each task, along with the details of the task status, deadline and due dates, task assignees, and more.

The timeline and tasks tab helps teams coordinate their efforts in viewing and monitoring the overall progress of the workflow tasks, enhancing the efficiency and communication required with each assigned responsibility. Within Spendflo’s workflow timeline, real-time changes occur automatically with all task changes.
