Is it possible to pause a workflow? Can a workflow be paused from within a UI action?

[Edwin Fuller]

I need to pause all running workflows using an UI action when the status changes to "IT Record Opened" and then resume the workflow when the status changes from   "IT Record Opened". Can someone show me how this would be done. If there's another option for me to pause the workflow, I'm open to looking at those suggestions as well.

Thanks

Current UI Action

function addITnumber(){

  g_form.setDisplay('it_record', true);

  g_form.setMandatory('it_record', true);

if(g_form.getValue('it_record')==''){

  try {g_form.hideFieldMsg('it_record');} catch(e) {}

      g_form.setMandatory('it_record', true);

      g_form.showFieldMsg('it_record','Enter Idea, Demand or Service Request Ticket # to proceed.');

}

  gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'ITnumber');

}

//Ensure call to server-side function with no browser errors

if (typeof window == 'undefined')

  serverResolve();

function serverResolve(){

current.current_status = ('IT Record Opened');

current.update();

}

Check about the wait for condition activity on the workflow. It would do what you are looking for. You can find multiple examples of it in the community.
