End Workflow
This activity terminates a running branch. The branch can terminate in a completed state or with an error.
For example,
Example: Your workflow handles documents for your human resources department, and you have an Employment Status field for each employee in the "HR" template. In your workflow, you use a Conditional Parallel activity to determine how HR documents should be handled, but if an employee's status is set to "No Longer Employed," you do not need to continue routing the documents. You could use the End Workflow activity to stop routing the documents.
