Below the Workflows Over Time graph is a list of the most frequently run workflows. The counts shown are the number of times the workflow has been run during the defined time period.  The arrow symbol next to the count indicates whether the number of times the workflow has been run during the current period increased or decreased compared to the preceding period. In the above example, the counts of all workflows were higher than in the preceding period:
