Business Action: Remove Object from STEP Workflow

This operation can remove the object or objects from the selected workflow. For example, the object should be removed from the workflow when it reaches the final state within a workflow.

Business actions can also be added within the STEP Workflow Designer. Edit the workflow state or transition for the business rule, and select it on the appropriate tab. For a state, a business rule can be selected on the following tabs: On Entry, On Exit, and Escalation. For a transition, a business rule can be selected on the following tabs: Condition and On Transition.

This operation is similar to one in Bulk Update, as described in the Workflow: Remove Items from STEP Workflow Operation topic in the Bulk Updates documentation here.
