A Process Flow Formatter is a visual progress bar in ServiceNow that shows where a record stands in a business process. It usually sits at the top of a form to display current, completed, and upcoming stages like a timeline. [1, 2]

Hi @SrinivasS218965,

 

It's a UI formatter that provides a graphical representation of the stages that are present in a business process, it's displayed at the top of a form.

Hi @SrinivasS218965 

 

The process flow formatter provides a graphical summary of the stages in a process. The formatter is typically shown at the top of forms that are part of a process.

Each record on the Flow Formatter [sys_process_flow] table represents a process stage and can have a different condition applied to it. When specified conditions are fulfilled, the formatter highlights the current stage and places a check mark next to all previous stages.

These examples show a workflow in Core UI interface.

When any formatter stages are defined for a table, they appear on the form associated with that table in the order specified, assuming the formatter has been added to the form.
