Pausing a workflow

When you pause a workflow, the workflow is halted temporarily but is expected to be reinstated. You might, for example, want to pause a workflow to modify the workflow template. Once your changes are complete, you can resume the workflow and it continues from the point at which it paused.

To pause workflows via the My Workflows list:

  1. Do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Click the Inbox tab. Click My Workflows.

    • Select Tools>Workflow>My Workflows.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Click Pause next to the workflow you want to pause.

    • Select the checkboxes for the workflows you want to pause. Then select Tools>Workflow>Pause.

  3. You are prompted to confirm that you want to halt the workflow. Click OK.

To pause a workflow via Workflow Reporting:

  2. Select the workflow.

  3. Select Tools>Workflow>Pause.
