skipWorkItem

Use this function to skip a work item, so that no action is carried out on it.

The skipWorkItem function (which is in the WorkItemManagementService) has a very similar effect to completing a work item, in that it means that no further work is required. This function can only be carried out:

  • By a user who has authorization for the skipWorkItem system action, and
  • on work items for which all required output and in/out data fields either:
    • have default values defined, or
    • in the case of input/output fields, have been give values before this work item, by a script or another activity.

The work item must be Allocated, and once skipped its state is changed to Completed.
