Managing
Process Instances 
The Process Instance Manager allows you to manage running GP processes (process instances) by:
● Assigning standard process roles to additional users for each process instance
● Terminating process instances
● Unlocking locked process instances
Using the search function, you can find all relevant process instances. You can choose between the following search modes:
● All Processes: all processes, including both multi-instance and single-instance processes
● Single process: only single-instance processes

Already when
you create the process template in the design time, you determine whether the
process will be a single-instance or a multi-instance process at runtime. For
more information about the properties of such processes, see
Creating Process
Templates.
This central overview of the process instance manager lists all hits of your search. You can select process instances for management tasks in the following views:
● Grant Authorization: Select the required process instance, and choose Change Authorization.
● Terminate instances: Select all required process instances, and choose Terminate Instances.
● Unlock Instance: Select the required process instance, and choose Unlock Instance.

This option is only available when you use the Single Process search mode.
You can add or remove users for each of the process roles available for the process instance.

For more
information on process roles, see
Process
Roles.
You can terminate all process instances displayed. This means that all tasks are removed from the process instance.
You can unlock the process instance displayed.
