Hi,
Is there a way to see the time it takes for a workflow to run from start to finish?
Hi @scca
No… because even we do not know!
Your jobs will execute as resources become available. Tool choices, data volume, parameters – all of these impact how long each tool will take to dispatch to the server clusters, execute, and return results.
Running a workflow on any server, even outside of Galaxy, will have the same behavior, and for the same reasons. How this helps! 
Hi Jenna,
Just to clarify, I’m looking for a way to see how long a completed workflow has taken to finish, not an estimate of how long a workflow will take before it has been started.
Are there no logs that I can check to see when the first program was started and the last program completed?
Hi @scca,
I believe that right now we don’t have a way to display the full time that it took for a workflow to finish. Although, you can currently see the runtime for an individual tool within the workflow under that tools dataset details. I just talked to another developer though and a feature showing the full workflow runtime is currently being worked on.

Ok thanks! I’ll check the tool data details… Nice to hear this feature will be added, could be useful for benchmarking and comparing workflows!
