JS7 allows any JS7 - Workflow Instructions to be skipped and stopped on-the-fly.

Status Operations on Instructions

...

• Skip: The instruction will not be executed, instead an order continues execution with the next instruction after the skipped instruction.
• Stop: The order will be put to the suspended state if it meets a stopped instruction. Users can resume suspended orders.
  • An order can be resumed from the same position, from a previous or later position in the workflow, depending on the workflow design. For a stopped instruction, resuming the order will force execution of the instruction. When resuming orders, users are free to chose the same or a different instruction from which the order will be resumed.
  • Orders are not automatically resumed when an instruction is unstopped. Users can find the category of suspended orders in the Dashboard view. This displays a list of related orders and workflows. Bulk operations can be carried out, allowing a larger number of orders to be resumed at the same time.
• The Workflows view provides the Search option to look up workflows that include skipped or stopped instructions.

Skipping Instructions

An instruction's action menu includes the Skip operation:

• The Skip operation is offered for any instructions that are assigned a label.
• A skipped instruction is not considered. This includes any nested instruction in a block instruction.
• The operation to skip an instruction applies to any available version of the workflow that holds the skipped instruction.
  
  

...

• A stopped instruction suspends any incoming order to create a breakpoint in the workflow.
  • Users can resume a suspended order from the same position or other position in the workflow.
  • Resuming from the same position forces the instruction to be processed.
• The operation to stop an instruction applies to the version of the workflow for which the stop Stop operation is performed.
  
  

The status of stopped instructions is displayed like this:

The stop Stop operation can be reverted by using the Unstop operation, which is available from the instruction's action menu:
