Terminate system function

The Terminate system function prematurely ends the processing of a work item. The behavior of this function varies depending on the workflow map it is on:

  • On the Terminate system map, the Terminate function immediately removes the work item from the system, skipping any steps that have not been executed.

  • On all other maps, the Terminate function calls the Terminate map defined in or inherited by the workflow. The work item is then processed and ultimately removed from the system according to the logic of the Terminate map.

In all cases, when the Terminate map executes, all active, suspended, or disabled timers for the work item are ended.

To use the Terminate system function

  1. Place a system step on the workflow map where you want to step the workflow.
  2. In the Properties pane under Available Functions, select Terminate, then click the right arrow to move it to the Selected Functions column.

The Terminate system function has no parameters.

   

TIP A Terminate system function on a submap ends processing on that map. Control returns to the calling map.
