# View archived process contexts

Configure the form layout for a process execution so that you can see the JSON record for archived context records.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or playbook.admin

## About this task

To view the archived context records for a process execution record, you must configure the Form Layout for process execution records. If you haven't archived any context records for a process execution and want to, see [Archive process contexts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/build-workflows/workflow-studio/archive-process-executions.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All**, and enter **sys\_pd\_context.list** in the Filter field to open the \[sys\_pd\_context\] table.

2.  Open any process execution.

3.  Open the form context menu \(\[Omitted image "ContextMenu.png"\] Alt text: Context menu icon\).
