Pause individual workflow contexts. Specify the date and time of day at which the workflow context should resume.

## Vorbereitungen

Install and activate the Workflow Pause Utility plugin.

Role required: Workflow_admin or workflow_publisher, workflow_creator

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

When a workflow context is paused, the system saves basic information about the pause request, such as the resume date and time, in the wf_pause_request table. A workflow context automatically resumes at a specified date and
time of day, but the paused workflow context can be manually resumed as needed.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllWorkflowLive WorkflowsActive Contexts.
2. Select the individual workflow context that you are pausing.  
   Workflow Context appears.
3. In Related Links, click Pause.  
   A Workflow Pause Inputs dialog appears.
4. In the Workflow Pause Inputs dialog:
   1. Click the calendar icon (![Calendar icon]()) to select the date, and enter the time of day (in hours, minutes, and seconds) at which the workflow should resume.  
      You can select the current date or future date, but you must enter a time of day in the future. For example, to pause the workflow context at 13:30:00 (1:30 pm), select the date from the calendar, and then enter <kbd class="ph userinput">13</kbd>, <kbd class="ph userinput">30</kbd>, and <kbd class="ph userinput">00</kbd> into the respective Time: fields.
   2. Click the green check mark icon (![Green check mark icon.]()) when finished.  
      The selected date and time of day appear in the Resume At field.
   3. Click OK to return to Workflow Contexts.  
      The selected workflow is now paused. Use [Workflow pause
      request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XipJysb6~~g1FkZeLx5IIw "You can monitor the status of workflow pause requests using Workflow Pause Request.") to monitor its status.

   1. Navigate to WorkflowLive WorkflowsActive Contexts.
   2. Select the individual workflow context that you are pausing.  
      Workflow Context appears.
