Hi,

I've been looking for a few hours and can't seem to find what is probably
very basic.

I would like to report on all the processes that are currently in a
particular state.

For example, given this process defintion

    p = Ruote.process_definition :name => 'Transfer' do
      sequence do
        reviewer :task => 'verify information', :description => 'Verify
basic information'
        approver :task => 'assign transfer', :description => "Select the
location"
        reviewer :task => 'confirm transfer', :description => 'Admin
approval or denial.'
        email_system :task => 'email approval letter', :if => '${f.state}
== approved', :description => 'Approval email'
      end
    end

I would like to know how many processes are waiting to have information
verified, a transfer assigned, or a transfer confirmed.

Eg.

verify information: 20,
assign transfer: 30,
confirm transfer: 40

It seems that using the by_field method in storage participant helps me
achieve this outcome but I can't figure it out. It seems like this is
pretty straightforward stuff. What am I missing?

Really enjoying Ruote and all the efforts put into the project!

Sincerely,
Damon

John,

Thank you so much for this! I was really just looking for a pointer to an
existing function or "it doesn't exist...sorry" and would have been happy
to muddle through. Not only did you go above and beyond but you provided me
an improved understanding of ruote.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Damon
