Note regarding External Approval TasksApproval tasks generated from External Approvals are generally not intended to be approved through FlexDeploy. They are intended to be managed within the external system itself. However, the tasks can be approved here in the event that the linkage is somehow broken with the external system. Note that approving the task in FlexDeploy will leave the task in the external system as pending approval. |

When an application or project request or pipeline gate/step is in the Scheduled status, the build or deployment has been scheduled for execution at a later date (typically due to a deployment window). In such cases the build or deployment will automatically become eligible for execution when that date/time is reached. However, a person with the required privileges (typically an administrator or someone from the operations team) has the option of releasing the request to occur immediately or cancelling the request.
...
To force the request to execute immediately, select the corresponding task and click the Run Now button. To cancel a request, select the corresponding task and click the Cancel button. If a task is forced to run now, or is canceled, the associated workflow will continue execution or fail as appropriate.

When a release or project executes Pre-deploy, the workflow can create a Review task for a specific FlexDeploy group by outputting a value with code FD_REVIEW_GROUP. These Review tasks will appear as Human Tasks in this screen. Email notifications are sent that they have a pending human task. The intent is to review the output of the Pre-deploy execution by clicking the project name link in the task row. This will show the workflow execution details. The reviewer should view the pre-deploy results. Once reviewed, they will approve or reject the task either in the project (below) or back on the tasks screen (above).
