  2. Toggle a column on or off.
  3. Drag a column to reorder it.

The table includes the following columns:

  • Type – An icon indicating the agent type (specialized or workflow).
  • Execution Time – The date and time the execution started.
  • Agent – The agent name and ID.
  • Trigger – The trigger type that started the workflow execution. See Workflow agent triggers for descriptions of each trigger type.
  • Triggered By – The user who triggered the execution.
  • Status – The current execution status. See Execution statuses for descriptions.
  • Credits – The approximate credit usage for the execution.
  • Evaluation Score – The quality score for the execution. Only displays for executions with preferred output examples.
  • Duration – The total time the execution took to run.

Execution statuses

The Status column displays the current state of each execution:

  • Pending – Queued but not yet started.
  • Running – Currently executing.
  • Completed – Finished without errors.
  • Failed – Encountered an error.
  • Canceled – A user canceled the execution.

Cancel multiple executions

Cancel multiple executions at once instead of stopping each one individually. This is useful when a workflow triggers more runs than expected or when many executions queue up.

  1. Select the checkbox for each execution to cancel or click the checkbox in the heading to select all.
  2. Click Cancel selected.

  3. Click Cancel Executions in the confirmation page.

Opal cancels only executions with Running or Pending statuses. When you cancel, any step in progress finishes and no further steps start.
