End with Rejection Action

Utilize the End with Rejection workflow action to return the approval request to the requester for modification and resubmission.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The End with Rejection action is different with the End action. The End action will be the final End point of the workflow, while the End with Rejection is the special case for workflow ending.

So, the End with rejection action should be only configured as the End after an assignment task is rejected. Once the workflow is end with rejection, the workflow is end and the form can be re-submitted again by the form owner.

For the configuration of the arrow connecting the "Assignment" task to the "End with Rejection" action, it is imperative to set the condition such that it reflects the rejection of the Assignment task. Kindly adhere to the subsequent steps to ensure this is achieved accurately:

  1. Select the arrow line and proceed by clicking on the gear icon, which will initiate the property settings window.

  2. Opt for the "Condition editor" button, which will prompt the Condition editor dialogue box to appear.

  3. Choose the "Add Condition" button. Subsequently, from the dropdown menu, select "Rejected".

    This action will introduce a new condition delineated as Outcome == Rejected.

  4. Conclude the configuration by clicking "OK".

A sample of the configuration for Assignment Task action and End with Rejection action is as below.

To configure the End with Rejection action, lick the "Settings" button under the selected End action.

End the process after reaching this node:

  1. End the process after reaching this action (checkbox):
    This option must be checked in order for the End action to actively terminate the process.

  2. System notice (in red, shown only when checked):
    "Note: All active activities will be ended."
    → This message appears only when the checkbox is selected. It indicates that all in-progress or pending actions in other branches will be canceled once this action is executed.

Enable Email - Turn this ON, if you want to send an email notification after the assignment task is rejected. Yeeflow will include the sample content for the email information, while you can change the setting per your needs.

Priority Rule with End with Rejection

If your workflow includes both End with Rejection and End actions, and both are triggered at the same time:

  • The End with Rejection action takes priority over the End action.

  • Even if the End action has the “End the process” option enabled,
    the process will end with a rejected status if any incoming line reaches the End with Rejection action.
