# Cancel Process

| ## Step Details |
| --- |
| **Introduced in Version** | 4.0.0 |
| **Last Modified in Version** | 5.12.0 |
| **Location** | Process |

The **Cancel Process** step is used to stop and clear data (if desired) from a Decisions Process. The step can be placed after a portion of a Process, thereby rendering that Process Data null and void and preventing it from progressing any further. The step determines whether or not to clear the data based on a user input boolean value.

## Common Errors

### Index was outside the bounds of the array

If the Clear Data field is not set, an error will occur. To correct this, ensure that the field is mapped to Constant mapping.

#### Exception Message:
