3.4.2 Perform an Action on Multiple Tasks

You can select multiple tasks and perform an action on all the selected tasks at the same time.

MicroTx Workflows performs actions on the selected tasks based on the status of the workflow that contains the task. For information about the actions that you can perform on workflows based on their status, see About Workflow Status.

1. Open the navigation menu and click Executions.
2. Click the Tasks tab.
   Details of all tasks associated with executed workflows are displayed.
3. Optional. Apply search criteria to filter the search results and view the executed workflows on which you want to perform an action. See Search and View Details of Executed Tasks.
4. Select one or more tasks.
5. Click Bulk Actions, and then click one of the following actions. The
   • Pause: Temporarily halts the execution of the workflows that contain the selected tasks. Workflows will stop processing at their current step until you resume the workflow execution.
   • Resume: Restarts any paused workflows that contain the selected tasks, allowing them to continue processing from the point they were paused.
   • Terminate: Immediately stops the execution of workflows that contain the selected tasks. You can only terminate workflows which are in the running or paused state. You cannot resume terminated workflows, but you may retry or restart the workflow.
   • Terminate With Reason: Immediately stops the execution of workflows that contain the selected tasks and prompts you to enter a reason for the terminating the tasks. The reason you specify is logged for auditing and troubleshooting. You can only terminate tasks which are in the running or paused state.
   • Delete: Permanently removes the workflows that contain the selected tasks. Only workflows in one of the following states can be deleted: completed, terminated, failed, or timed out. An error message is displayed for workflows in other states.

     Caution:

     You cannot recover deleted workflows.

   • Archive: Moves workflows that contain the selected tasks to an archived state, removing them from active lists while retaining them for historical reference or compliance.

     Workflows in only one of the following states can be archived: completed, terminated, failed, or timed out. An error message is displayed for workflows in other states.

     Tasks in one of the following states are archived: completed, terminated, failed, or timed out. An error message is displayed for tasks in other states.

   • Retry: Reattempts to process the selected tasks, which are in the failed, terminated, or timed out state in multiple workflows. The reattempt starts from the point of failure.

   • Restart with current def: Restarts the workflows that contain the selected tasks. MicroTx Workflows uses the same workflow definition that was in effect at the time they were originally executed.

     You can restart workflows only when they are in one of the following states: completed, terminated, failed, or timed out. An error message is displayed for workflows in other states.

   • Restart with latest def: Restarts the workflows that contain the selected tasks. MicroTx Workflows picks up any changes or updates made to the workflow since an earlier execution, and then restarts the workflow.

     You can restart workflows only when they are in one of the following states: completed, terminated, failed, or timed out. An error message is displayed for workflows in other states.

   MicroTx Workflows performs actions on the selected tasks based on the status of the workflow that contains the task. If an action cannot be performed on a selected task, the reason is displayed as shown in the following figure.
