It represents the point at which the process flow terminates. - An End Event cannot have any outgoing Sequence Flow connections. - A single Process model can include multiple End Events, allowing different paths within the process to end independently based on conditions or logic. > [!NOTE] > Use multiple End Events to reflect different outcomes, such as successful completion, error termination, or cancellation. --- ## Add an End Event to a Process **Permissions** - Processes: Edit Processes - Processes: View Processes See the [Process](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#processes) permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance. Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to configure an End Event object in the Process model unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected: Processes: Edit Processes Processes: View Processes See the [Process](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#processes) permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance. Add an End Event object from one of the following locations in Process Modeler: - **Object Panel:** Located to the left of the Process Modeler, the Object Panel contains various process modeling objects. - **Object Bar:** Located at the bottom of the Process Modeler, the Object Bar contains [pinned](/v1/docs/process-modeler#pin-and-unpin-objects) Process modeling objects for quick access.

Click **Confirm**. The new object replaces the End Event object with its default settings and color. --- ## Settings The End Event object has the following panels that contain settings: - [**Configuration**](/v1/docs/end-event#configuration-panel-settings) panel - [**Documentation**](/v1/docs/end-event#documentation-panel-settings) panel - [**Advanced**](/v1/docs/end-event#advanced-panel-settings) panel --- ### Configuration Panel Settings The End Event object has the following settings in the **Properties** panel: #### Edit the Object Name An object name is a human-readable reference for a Process object. Process Modeler automatically assigns the name of a Process object with its object type. However, an object's name can be changed. Follow these steps to edit the name for an End Event object: 1. Select the End Event object from the Process model in which to edit its name. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). The **Name** setting displays. This is a required setting. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/841559ef-f801-4a82-a538-7a9ff722d367.png) 3. In the **Name** setting, edit the selected object's name and then press **Enter**. #### Select the Element Destination Specify the destination to which users are redirected after completing a process flow. By default, users go to a [summary screen](/v1/docs/end-event#select-the-screen-that-summarizes-a-completed-request) of the process and you can override this behavior and redirect to locations such as the process LaunchPad, a specific dashboard, or an external URL. Follow these steps to select an object destination: 1. Select the End Event object from the Process model. 2. Click the ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/setting.png) icon to view the **Configuration** panel. 3. From the **Element Destination** drop-down menu, select the page to display after a user completes this process flow. 4. Select one of the the following options. Selecting a destination object other than **Task Source** will render the **Display Next Assigned Task to the Task Assignee** feature unusable since the object will have an alternate destination. - **Summary Screen (Default):** This option redirects the user to a screen where summarizing the request. From the **Summary Screen** setting, select a [Display](/v1/docs/screens-types#display-screens)-Screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/End Event - Element Destination.png) - **Task List:** This option redirects the user to the [Task](/v1/docs/tasks#view-tasks) list. - **Process Launchpad:** This option redirects the user to the [Process Launchpad](/v1/docs/process-launchpad). - **Welcome Screen:** This option redirects the user to the [Participant Welcome Screen](/v1/docs/participant-welcome-screen). - **Custom Dashboard:** This option redirects the user to a [dashboard](/v1/docs/dashboards). After selecting **Custom Dashboard**, a dropdown menu appears below to select the desired dashboard. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(282).png) - **External URL:** This option redirects the user to an external URL. After selecting **External URL**, a field appears below to enter the URL. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(283).png) - **Another Process:** This option calls to another process. After selecting **Another Process**, a dropdown menu appears below to select the desired process and the start event to start a new case. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/End Event - Another Process.png) > [!NOTE] > Note: > > - Element Destination setting applies whether the user is completing the process while logged into ProcessMaker or as an anonymous user through a web entry. > - If you select **Another Process**, make sure to configure all [Start Events](/v1/docs/start-event) and [Form Tasks](/v1/docs/form-task) in both the current process and the selected process to use an interstitial screen through the **Display Next Assigned Task** setting. This ensures proper redirection on task completion. #### Select the Screen That Summarizes a Completed Request After a [Request](/v1/docs/requests-and-cases#what-is-a-request) completes when an End Event object triggers, a [Screen](/v1/docs/screens) can display a summary of the completed Request. If a Process model has multiple End Event objects, then each End Event object can reference a different Screen to display a different summary. For example, if an End Event object triggers from Lane 1 of a Pool object, then use a different Screen to display the Request summary than an End Event object that triggers from Lane 2. When an End Event object is placed into a Process model, it is not configured to display a summary Screen when it triggers. Therefore, it must be configured. If a Script Task object immediately precedes the End Event object, place a Form Task object preceding the End Event object, and then use the **Display the Next Assigned Task to the Task Assignee** setting to trigger the End Event object after the Form Task object. Follow these steps to select the Screen that displays when an End object triggers: 1. Select the End Event object from the Process model in which to select the Screen that displays when that End Event object is triggered, thereby completing that Request. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). Panels to configure this object display. 3. Expand the **Configuration** panel if it is not presently expanded, and then locate the **Summary screen** setting. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/4ac8eb20-a5be-449c-b0ba-63454dd2f238.png) 4. From the **Summary screen** drop-down menu, select the Screen that has been designed to display Request summaries if that End Event object triggers. This drop-down menu displays only Display-type Screens to display a message to the Request participant. Note that another End Event object located elsewhere in the Process model, such as another Pool or Lane object, may reference a different Screen to display Request summaries when it triggers. --- ### Documentation Panel Settings Describe the object's purpose and how it functions in the Process.
