Cancel a task

You can cancel a task that is assigned to you or that you can access if the workflow definition settings allow you to.

Important Canceling a task cancels the entire workflow.

Requirements and permissions

  • You have a global role with the Participate in workflow global permission.

    Note Users that have a global role with the Workflow Administration or System administration permission do not require this permission explicitly.

  • You have one of the roles defined in the Stop workflow definition setting or there is no role defined.

Steps

    The row is highlighted and the task appears in the sidebar.

  3. At the top of the sidebar, select More icon → Cancel Task.
  4. Fill in an optional reason to cancel the task and click Cancel Task.
