FAQ

Where do I create and manage workflow blockers? Go to Admin, then under Jobs select Workflow Blockers.

Does creating a blocker automatically apply it anywhere? No, creating the blocker only adds it to your list of available blockers. You still need to add it to the relevant status within a workflow before it can be used on a job.

What happens to a job's status when a blocker is applied? The status badge turns red and displays which blocker is active, and the job is stopped from moving forward until the blocker is resolved.

How do I clear a blocker once the issue is fixed? Click the job's status, then select Resolve next to the blocker. The status returns to normal and the job can progress again.
