Summary View of Runs
The summary view puts every in-progress run of one workflow on a single page as a grid: the workflow’s steps down the left, grouped by section, and one column per run across the top. Each cell shows whether that run has done that step.
It answers a question the ordinary Runs list cannot: not "how is this run doing" but "how are all of these doing, compared with each other".

On the Workflows page, a workflow with runs in progress shows links to the list view and the summary view. Open the summary view.
Reading the grid
Because every run is lined up against the same steps, patterns jump out that you would never notice one run at a time:
- A column that is empty across the board is a step everyone is stuck on. That is usually a problem with the step, not with the people.
- A row lagging behind the others is the run that needs attention today.
- A column completed instantly everywhere is often a step that is not really doing anything and could be merged or dropped.
- Cells marked N/A are steps that conditional logic made not applicable in that run. A section showing N/A in one column and ticks in the others is the logic working as intended, and a quick way to check that it is. See Conditional Logic in Workflows.
Sections can be collapsed from their headings, which is how you keep a long workflow readable when you only care about one phase across every run.
Working from it
You can tick steps directly from this page rather than opening each run, which is what makes it useful for someone processing many runs of the same workflow in a sitting.
Three controls sit above the grid: Sort by for the column order, Filter Runs to narrow which runs appear, and Highlight assignments, which picks out one person’s steps across every run at once. That last one is the quickest way to see everything waiting on a particular colleague.
