Task Actions

After you submit a flow, you can monitor the status of the flow from any of these three pages:

• Checklist
• View Flows
• Results Pages

For every submitted flow, the application generates a checklist by default. Use the Checklist page to monitor the status of tasks within the flow and take a task action.

Use the View Flows page to view the status of submitted flows that are in progress and require your attention.

Task Actions

This table lists the actions you can take on a flow and how it impacts the flow.

Action	Description and Flow Impact
Skip	The process skips the task and continues with the remaining tasks within the flow.
Roll Back Errors	All records in error are rolled back and a payroll relationship group is created for the employees in error status. You can view the payroll relationship group to access employee records that have errors, correct data, and then resubmit the flow.
Roll Back All	All tasks within a task flow, except skipped tasks, are rolled back. The status of the task flow is set to 'In Progress' with the number of completed tasks set to zero. Note: You can't use this option for skipped tasks within a flow. For example, if you skip the first task in a flow and you use the Roll Back All option in the second task, then the first task won't be included in this action.
Roll Back	Available only for single tasks. Once the task is rolled back, the Status for this task is "Full Roll Back".
Mark for Retry	Available only for single tasks. Once the task is marked for retry, the status for this task is set to "Completed with Alerts".
Retry	Resubmit records marked for retry or in error. Retry a process that has completed with alerts to rerun any incomplete records. For example, if a process completes but has 5 errors, you can correct the data for the 5 errors and retry the task for the 5 records.
Force Resubmit	Force resubmit a task if a process is stuck due to a system issue. The task status is then set to 'In Progress'.
Submit	You can only use this action when a task has been fully rolled back.
Cancel Current and Recurring Schedule	Cancel the process due to run currently and also all processes scheduled for a future date. This action can't be supported in process results because the process has completed.
Cancel Recurring Schedule	Cancels the processes planned as part of the schedule plan for a future date, but doesn't cancel the running of the current process. This action can't be supported in process results because the process has completed.
Cancel	Cancels all ESS threads of a flow task that are in In Progress status. This action is available in the Checklist and Results Summary UIs.

Only the owners of the flow task, and the user who submitted the flow, can take an action on a flow or flow task. Actions aren't available to other types of users.
