Cancel Production Task

Users with Editor or Publisher roles may have permission to cancel a task assignment. Task assignments may only be cancelled by the user who assigned them. Tasks that are configured to be assigned automatically may only be cancelled by the user who is the assignor of record in the task configuration. A user with proxy permission may proxy into the system as the assignor and cancel the task assignment.

To cancel a task assignment:

Access the related submission in one of two folders:
- Submission Tasks I Have Assigned
- View All Production Tasks with Authors
Click the Cancel Assignment link to open the cancellation letter page.
Edit the letter as needed.
Click Submit and Cancel Assignment.

Once a task is cancelled, it will no longer appear in the task list of the person to whom it was assigned. The Production Task Status field will note status as cancelled.
