The Finish Task at the end of a process instance discards the current work item, however the documents associated with the work item remain securely stored and protected within DocuPhase.
When a Finish Task is encountered within a sub-process, the task takes the process work item back to the parent process and the work item continues in the parent workflow process from just beyond where the sub-process was entered.

Finish Task Description |
|
|
The Finish Task is a process end-point and at least one Finish Task is required to complete a process. For example, when a workflow process will end, the Finish Task is used to represent a completion point. Note: Although there is only one Start Task with its one or more Entry Points, there can be more than one Finish Task node in the design for a process to handle the potentially different ways a process may end on different paths created by Decision Tasks, OR Split Tasks or an Exception Task. Tip: Appropriately naming Finish tasks with meaningful names can also be an effective way to clarify the exit conditions that led to this Finish point for the process. |
The tabs for multiple types of tasks that the Finish Task has in common with other tasks are listed with x-marks in the grid (above) and they are explained in detail in a previous section (Task Definition – Common Tabs).
