Use this step to remove an existing workflow instance.

Last published at: March 16th, 2025

Description:

This step removes the workflow instance by its instance ID, during runtime. 

Note: This step is to be executed only when necessary. 

 

Inputs

  • instanceID—id of the instance
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute 
 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “removeWorkflowInstanceDef” example.          

  • Create a new definition called “removeWorkflowInstanceDef” 
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag a “removeWorkflowInstance” step from the toolbox
  • Connect the dots between the Start and “removeWorkflowInstance” step
  • Navigate to the Process - Instance page. Select any process instance and take note of the instance ID. 

 

  • Click the "removeWorkflowInstance" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide the workflow instance ID to be removed during runtime.  

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. This step removes the workflow instance ID as configured. Navigate to the Process—Instance page. Search for the workflow instance ID to notice that it has been removed.

 

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.

NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
