Process monitoring contains all started process instances that are available to the user. A process instance is a process running with specific parameter values. The number of running instances is unlimited.
The list of process instances in process monitoring can be different depending on user access. If the user is assigned as owner for a specific step execution, then the step will be displayed on executing in process monitoring.
NOTE. The repository administrator has access to all started process instances.
