Regulatory Review Termination

As a workflow initiator or an administrator, you can terminate a workflow.

If a review workflow is terminated manually or unexpectedly for any reason, the following events occur:

  • The document’s workflow status is updated to Approval Terminated
  • New audit log entries are created to record the termination events:
    • Workflow Terminated entry - This description in this entry identifies the user id of the user who terminated the workflow or indicates that the workflow is terminated as a result of an error in the workflow.
    • Lifecycle Status Change entry - This entry indicates that the document lifecycle status is updated from In Regulatory Review to In Content Review. This entry contains the incremented version number of the document.
  • The overall workflow status on the Workflow Overview window is set to Canceled, and the Completed On date is set to the date and the time of termination
  • The workflow history for that instance of the review workflow is updated to reflect the date and the time of termination
  • All tasks that are in the In Progress stage when the workflow is terminated are cancelled, and their status is updated to reflect cancellation
  • The user actions for the tasks that are cancelled is updated to a status of Canceled
  • All reviewers whose tasks are cancelled are notified via an email that they no longer need to review the document.
  • The workflow initiator is notified via an email that the workflow is terminated.
