The completed and in process workflows for purged users will be purged as well, hence during Master Data Purge we can conclude all workflows should be purged except the following:

  • TALENT_OMA

Note: For New Hire workflow type, only complete workflow can be purged with master data purge. The other status New Hire workflow can’t be purged.
