Introduction
- The Fail Instruction is used to fail an order in a workflow. The order halts and is assigned the FAILED state.
- FAILED orders remain with their workflow position and require user intervention to transition from this state.
- Users can resume, suspend and cancel FAILED orders, see JS7 - Order State Transitions

Explanation:
- The workflow makes use of an If Instruction to check a previous job's return values. See JS7 - If Instruction for details of how to add expressions to If Instructions.
- If the If Instruction evaluates to true then the Fail Instruction is executed. The order is then assigned the FAILED state.
- When an order is failed, a message and a return code that specify the reason for failing the order can be added as an option.
