While having a workflow open, clicking on Executions and Execution history provides detailed information about respective workflow executions, including their outcome, log, and the possibility of re-running it 

To see a general overview of all executions (across workflows) you can click on Executions on the top left corner while being in the overall workflow table.

You can see the latest executions and if they have been successful directly in the workflow overview:

By clicking on Executions list you navigate to a more detailed overview including outcome, log, etc:

This is great.  However, looking at the event data this is what one of my customer needs.
An audit report that shows the workflow runs, who runs it, who created the workflow or modified the workflow.
The also need a breakdown of each step in the workflow, to understand which element in the workflow may need to be optimized.


you can find each workflow execution as a system event in grail: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/semantic-dictionary-system-event-models#automationengine-w...
This contains the info when, who or what it was triggered, and the final state.
You can also use the task and action executions data to look at individual tasks, and eg identify task or certain action with high failure rate.
The lifecycle events are written anytime a workflow is saved, by whom on what kind of change it was: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/semantic-dictionary-system-event-models#automationengine-w...

For specific details on the structure of a workflows, this is done in the workflows app.
