DocuSign CLM - Stopping In Progress Workflows and Tasks

You can pause or abort DocuSign CLM workflows if you need to cancel a task. Aborting a workflow cancels any in progress automated steps and any human steps that the workflow is waiting for a user to complete. Pausing a workflow suspends the execution of any automated steps but does not cancel them. You can restart a paused workflow from its current step at any time.

E-signature steps can be canceled at any time in the duration of the signature process by canceling the signature invitation.

Abort an executing workflow to cancel a task

If you have a task in DocuSign CLM that needs to be removed from a user’s task queue, here is the process for finding and canceling the task. Canceling a task means you need to abort the entire workflow. Once stopped, you can make any necessary changes and then kick the workflow off from the beginning of the process.

1. Click a workflow name in the list to open the workflow configuration.
2. Click the Cancel icon in the upper-right of the configuration page to abort the workflow (see icon descriptions below).

A message displays informing you that the workflow has been canceled. The task no longer displays on a user’s Tasks page.

Workflow Configuration icons

The icons that display in the upper-right of the workflow page are as follows.
 

	Shows the task in Execution View
	Resumes the workflow
