What happens if I disable a workflow?

You cannot disable an individual workflow rule or global condition. However, if you disable a workflow, all workflow rules and global conditions associated with the workflow are disabled.

Tip:

This functionality only applies to the current workflow, and does not apply to child workflows. For example, if you disable a workflow at the study design level, the child workflows at the event or form level are not disabled.

When you deploy a study with a disabled workflow, the forms associated with that workflow appear in InForm in the order specified by their sequence numbers in the Workflow Diagram.

If you deploy to an Oracle InForm release prior to release 6.1.1:
  • Disabled rules are not validated in Oracle Central Designer.
  • Disabled rules are excluded from the deployment package.
  • A validation warning appears and indicates that the study contains disabled rules.
If you deploy a study to Oracle InForm release 6.1.1 or later:
  • Disabled rules are deployed to Oracle InForm as read-only.
  • A validation warning appears and indicates that the study contains disabled rules.
