Tasks#
The Tasks menu is the central worklist for users who need to continue, review, or stop assigned Flow runs. It shows runs that currently require action from the current user.
When a Flow run is assigned to an individual user during the execution of a UI node, it automatically becomes a task for this user.
User get notified via the Notification Center and the task will appear in their personal task list.
Administrators can control whether the Tasks menu is shown at all and whether users are allowed to stop tasks through the System Configuration.
Canceling a task#
To do this select the Task/Run and click on the "Cancel" button at the top right.
User#
If tasks.allowUsersToStopTasks is enabled in the System Configuration, non-admin users can stop currently assigned,
stoppable tasks directly from the Tasks page.
If this setting is disabled, users can still stop a task only in a limited early-stage scenario: the same user started the Flow manually, the run is currently waiting on a UI node, and the run has not moved beyond the initial assignment step except for an optional business object lookup.
Admin#
An Admin can cancel tasks from the Runs page.

Delegation#
If a Flow UI task is configured with Allow delegation, the current assignee can delegate the task to another user or group.
This can be used when responsibility for a running task needs to be handed over without changing the Flow itself.
After selecting a task in the Tasks menu, the Delegate button is shown if delegation was enabled in the corresponding UI node.
