Terminating a process instance

To terminate a process instance, you must have appropriate access rights as a process administrator.
You might want to terminate a process instance if the work or documents it represents are no longer needed, if no one is available to complete the process instance, if you have encountered problems with the process template and it needs to be redesigned, and so on.
To terminate a process instance, do one of the following:
  • Click Terminate on the Process Instance page.
  • On any of the process instance list pages, for example, Administered By Me, select the check box next to the process instance, then click Terminate.
This action stops the process instance immediately without waiting for any outstanding activities. Process instances that are terminated are not compensated.
