Hello, I’ve paused a few programs that I will not be making active again and have no way of deleting them (the trash can icon is greyed out). Is there a reason we are unable to delete paused programs?

Also would love an update- it’s so risky to resume a JO in order to stop it and just cross your fingers that you did it fast enough so no new emails are sent. This feels like a completely unnecessary step which makes stopping these programs really difficult. Any news on prioritizing this update?

@chethana and @sai_ram 

It looks like this update has been on Gainsight’s long-term road map for ~3 years, with the latest update being ~2 years ago. Do either of you have an update for us?

Hello! I just discovered that I cannot stop a Paused JO, hence I cannot close the linked survey attached to it.

When is this feature going to be implemented? It is very annoying, as for sure cannot resume and stop the JO, as it will mail the participants.

Please give us updates, as this was acknowledged 3 years ago already.

Thanks

We do not want to make a program active and trigger new activity in order to stop the program.

@sai_ram can we get an update on this, please?

It doesn’t look like this has been added in dynamic JO at this point.

Hi ​@revathimenon, could we please get some eyes on this?

Been asking in the GGA Slack community to see other users best practices on cleaning up one-time (1x) journey orchestrator programs, since so many of us admins use them in favor of simple programs, and the process of stopping all of our old programs is painful – it’s a one-by-one stop and archive, and we have to decide whether to go through and do it quarterly, mid year, or annually (as able) when our instance gets too messy.

​@revathimenon and ​everyone in this thread - The programs in the new version (Dynamic Programs) allow you to stop the program if it is paused. We are not making any immediate changes to the old version, so I'm marking this as released. Thank you.

 

Apologies for the lack of responses from our side; this thread was not categorized correctly and went unnoticed.
