Canceling Tasks

Task owners and the Service Administrator can stop a running task at any time. When you cancel a task, the task status changes to Closed. Pending tasks with the task as a predecessor can't run. If you've a sequence of tasks and you want to cancel the entire sequence, you can cancel the first task in the sequence.

To cancel a running task:

  1. From your task list, select a task that you want to stop.
  2. From the Properties tab, select Actions, then Abort.
