Disable Stages or Participants

If a stage or participant doesn't apply based on your business requirements, you can disable it.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Task Configurations task in the Application Extensions functional area. Or, depending on your offering, you might use a different functional area or another approval setup task.

2. In BPM Worklist, on the Task Configuration tab, search for the workflow task in the Tasks to be configured pane.

3. Select the task from the search results and click the Edit task icon in the toolbar.

4. Click the Assignees subtab.

5. If the diagram mapping out the workflow task is big, click the Switch to Vertical Layout link.

6. In the diagram, select the stage or participant you want to disable.

   • Stage: Click anywhere in the stage except inside the boxes representing participants.

   • Participant: Click in the box representing the participant.

7. In the pane after the diagram, click the Advanced subtab.

8. Select the Ignore Stage or Ignore Participant check box, depending on what you selected in the diagram.

9. In the Tasks to be configured toolbar, click the Commit task icon when you're ready to roll out your changes.
