This dialog box allows business process instances to be either dissociated from a specific entry or completely deleted from the Laserfiche repository.

Show me this dialog box.

To delete or dissociate a business process instance

1. From the main menu in the Workflow Administration Console, select Manage Business Process Instances from the Tools drop-down menu.
2. The Choose a Laserfiche Repository dialog box will open, login to the repository you want to modify using an account with sufficient privileges. Learn more.

   

3. The Manage Business Process Instances dialog box allows you to define an entry and delete or disassociate business process instances that are associated with it.
• Entry ID: Type the entry ID number or click the ellipsis button to browse for the entry you want to modify.

Tip: If you suspect that entries in the Laserfiche repository have changed (i.e., business processes have been started) since this dialog box was opened, click the Refresh link to update its contents.

4. The Business process instances table will list the business process instances associated with the selected entry.
5. Select the business process instance that you want to delete or dissociate from the entry, and click either the Delete or Dissociate button.

   Note: Deleting a business process instance will permanently remove it from the Laserfiche Server; however, the instance on the Workflow Server remains unaffected.

   Dissociating or deleting a business process instances is irreversible. Once a business process instance is deleted, its information will be permanently removed from all entries in the repository; dissociating the instance will only remove its information from the selected entry. If a business process instance is deleted while it is in progress, any activity from that running instance that attempts to run will return an error and terminate.

6. Click Close to exit the dialog box and return to the Workflow Administration Console.
