CONTROL TASK

• We can use the Control task to stop, abort, or fail the top-level workflow or the parent workflow based on an input link condition.
• A parent workflow or worklet is the workflow or worklet that contains the Control task.
• We give the condition to the link connected to Control Task.

Control Option	Description
Fail Me	Fails the control task.
Fail Parent	Marks the status of the WF or worklet that contains the Control task as failed.
Stop Parent	Stops the WF or worklet that contains the Control task.
Abort Parent	Aborts the WF or worklet that contains the Control task.
Fail Top-Level WF	Fails the workflow that is running.
Stop Top-Level WF	Stops the workflow that is running.
