Note

If you're using Workspaces 19.11 or later, you can withdraw an application from within Workspaces or the Journey Manager dashboard. However, if you're using Workspaces 19.05 or earlier, applications can only be withdrawn in the Journey Manager dashboard.

Consider the situation where someone starts an application but, before submitting it, they change their mind and decide not to proceed with the application after all. So, they contact the support helpdesk and ask for the application to be canceled. Workspaces handles this situation by allowing an application to be withdrawn.

Withdrawing an application is a deliberate step in the application workflow and progresses the application to an end point in its life cycle. At this point, processing of the application might cease but this does not mean that the application is discarded just yet. This is convenient for an applicant that has a subsequent change of heart and decides to continue with their application, as all is not lost and a withdrawn application can be recovered.

While it might be good practice to withdraw unwanted unsubmitted applications, it is not mandatory to do so, and an unsubmitted application that is not withdrawn will eventually expire, becoming abandoned. This is important to note as it could affect an SLA relating to the processing of applications.

You can withdraw an application from either the List screen or the Details screen in the Workspaces Helpdesk and Assisted Channel spaces.

Withdraw from a List screen

To withdraw an application from the List screen :

  1. Click the navigation menu icon to open the navigation menu, and select the Helpdesk or Assisted Channel space. The List screen is displayed.

  2. In the item list, locate an application that you want to withdraw and point your cursor at it. The available actions appear at the right-hand side. When searching for an application, keep in mind that some application details may not be available if the application has not been filled in completely.
    The Withdraw action is available here if the application has been saved, either intentionally by the applicant or in the background by the form.
  3. Click cancel_presentationWithdraw. The application is withdrawn, the available actions change, and a message confirming you have withdrawn the application is displayed briefly in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Tip

You can use the Bulk Action feature to withdraw multiple applications at once. Bulk actions are available on the Journey Workspaces List screen only. Neither Journey Brokers nor Journey Applicants support bulk actions, nor can they be performed from any Details screen.

Withdraw from a Details screen

To withdraw an application from the Details screen :

  1. Click the navigation menu icon to open the navigation menu, and select the Helpdesk or Assisted Channel space. The List screen is displayed.

  2. In the item list, locate an application that you want to withdraw and select it. The Details screen for the selected application is displayed. When searching for an application, keep in mind that some application details may not be available if the application has not been filled in completely.

  3. On the Details screen, click cancel_presentationWithdraw. The application is withdrawn, the available actions change, and a message confirming you have withdrawn the application is displayed briefly in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

    cancel_presentationWithdraw is located in the Actions group.

    cancel_presentationWithdraw is located within the selected task in the application timeline.

    Note that the Withdraw action is only available for the first task of an application that has been saved but not yet submitted.

    The Withdraw button is located in the Action panel.
