Deleting a workflow

Delete a Rhazes workflow and understand what happens to its schedule, its run history, and the tasks it has already filed on your list.

Updated

Deleting it

Delete a workflow from its menu. You will be asked to confirm.

What goes

The workflow and its schedule. It stops running automatically, which is the right way to stop an unwanted workflow rather than leaving it scheduled and ignoring the output.

What stays

Tasks it filed stay on your list. A task outlives the workflow that created it, because the follow-up still needs doing whether or not the workflow that spotted it still exists. See Filing tasks from a workflow.

Documents and records it already produced are unaffected. They are finished work and do not refer back to the workflow that made them.

Consider switching it off instead

If you may want it again, turn the workflow off rather than deleting it. It stops being runnable, keeps its history, and can be switched back on. See Running a workflow.

If the workflow is fine and only the timing is wrong, pause the schedule instead and leave the workflow alone. See Scheduling a workflow.

Check what points at it

A workflow that another workflow hands off to will break that chain when deleted. Check what hands off to it before removing it. See Chaining workflows together.
