Why This Matters: Automation Run History

Context: Visibility Into Automation Activity

The Run History view in OnePlan provides visibility into how automations are performing over time. You can review both active and completed runs to understand execution behavior, identify issues, and confirm outcomes.

Context: Control Over In-Progress Automations

The ability to cancel an in-progress automation allows you to respond to changing conditions. For example, if a plan is updated or no longer requires the automation, you can stop execution before additional actions are triggered.

Task: Understand Cancellation Behavior
