The Project Activity identifies all build and deployment requests along with the execution status for each request, whether completed/failed, pending approval, scheduled or in progress. The Workflow Request columns provides details pertaining to the build or deployment request that was submitted. Once a workflow request begins execution the Workflow Execution columns will provide details pertaining to its execution on the target instance. The Figure below describes the status lifecycle of a workflow request and its workflow execution.
