Kill on the File View Tab
You can remove a task from a workflow using the Kill command. You might use this command if there are two identical tasks. For example, an original copy and a fax copy of the same letter created two tasks. It is important to note that when you kill a task, the actual file is not deleted. You can retrieve the file using the Open command.
Consider your decision to use the Kill command carefully. A task that is killed cannot be recovered. A new task must be created to restore a task killed in error. |
- Select the locked task in the navigation pane that you would like to remove from the workflow.
- On the Task menu, click Kill to open the Kill Selected Task When you kill a parent task, all subtasks will be killed also (see Parent Tasks and Subtasks).
- Enter a reminder, etc., in the Description box.
- You can add a task note in the Note box, if needed, to provide additional information. Perhaps you want to explain in more detail why the item was removed from the workflow.
- Click OK to save your changes or Cancel to return without saving changes.
