End Node

Use the End Node to terminate a workflow that does not have any documents that need to be saved or distributed. The End Node is typically used to end a Dispatcher Stratus workflow that uses any of the People Nodes.

Configuring the End Node

The End node cannot be configured in any way. However, Dispatcher Stratus requires this node to end a workflow that has no other distribution nodes.

To open the node’s configuration window (shown above), add a distribution node for End Node to your workflow and double-click on it. You have the following options:

• Enabled - To enable this node in the current workflow, select the toggle until “Enabled” displays. The default setting is “Enabled”.

  • The workflow will ignore the node.

  • The node will not check for logic or error conditions.

  Important! If you disable this node, and no other distribution nodes are enabled, it will not cause the workflow to fail validation, but no processed documents will output and they may be lost.

• Name - The name in this field appears below the node’s icon in the workflow. The node’s name defaults, but you can edit it. For example, you can specify a name that indicates the node’s function in the workflow.

• Description - Enter a description for this node that details its purpose in the workflow, and/or to distinguish it from other nodes in the workflow. If the description is long, you can hover your pointer over the field to display its entire contents.

  This field is optional and is for internal use. That is, it appears only in this window and not in the workflow.
