That is why i would put them on one page.  On top you could have a radio button to specify what you're looking for: process definitions, process instances or tasks.

Then depending on that choice, you could enable/disable certain parts of the form to enter search criteria.

* (Re)binding process states to specific sub process definitions.
* Checking the size of the logs
* Migrating process instances or process definitions to another db
* Avg tx time
* ...

Currently, there are not many implemented, but this should definitely grow, i think.  Keep in mind that all of these should also be exposed via the JBoss operations network.

So I thought it makes more sense, and would be simpler in any case, to provide these stats queries from a process definition page, where the user has already located the process definition and they want to find out more about it.

You could have one search page as described above.  You might for instance start from that page and get a list of process definitions.  Then for each process definition there might be a link called 'search process instances'.  When clicking that link, you could navigate to that same search screen with process instances already selected as the items to search for and also the selected process definition prefilled in the criteria.

Is the idea clear ?  I could sketch out something if that helps to get the picture.

What do you think of the idea ?
