Completed Tasks
The Completed Tasks view shows your recent task history — tasks you have acted on in the past 30 days. Review your decision, the time you took, and the downstream workflow outcome — useful for audits and personal reference.
What Is Shown
Completed Tasks includes all tasks you have resolved — approvals you approved or rejected, forms you submitted, and reviews you acknowledged. Tasks expired without action and tasks claimed and completed by colleagues are shown separately with appropriate indicators.

Retention and Archival
Completed task records in the inbox history view are retained for 30 days. After 30 days they are moved to the workflow execution archive and are accessible via the Workflow History section (using the execution drill-down). Long-term audit records are never deleted — they are archived with compression.
Administrators with the appropriate role can export completed task records — including actor identity, timestamp, decision, and comment — as a CSV for compliance audits. This export is available in the Admin Panel, not WorkDesk itself.
Filtering Completed Tasks
The same filter panel used for pending tasks is available for completed tasks:
- Date range — filter by when the task was completed
- Task type — approval, form, review
- Decision outcome — approved, rejected, submitted, acknowledged, expired
- Workflow name — partial text match
