I'm new at this, so please bear with me. I've got a sample of the activiti diagram here:

[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/C45j9.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/C45j9.png)

Assume I'm on task "Validate if Budgeted or Unbudgeted". If I choose "Budgeted", I go to task "Approve Laptop Request - IT Governance (Ron)". At this point, I can either say yes or no.

Saying yes gets me to "Approve Laptop Request - IT Governance (2)", while saying no returns me to ISGOC.

Here's the caveat - saying no as either the IT Governance (Ron) or the IT Governance (2) would make the process skip you next time around.

So, if I, as IT Governance (Ron) said no, which would then take me back to ISGOC, to which I said budgeted, the process would skip over me, and jump straight to IT Governance (2). Should IT Governance (2) say no as well, he would get skipped over as well should ISGOC choose budgeted.

Currently, I'm using the create and complete listeners per task to modify an entry in a database, denoting which approvers had declined my request.

So my question is, is there a function of sorts that allows me to bypass a task?

Thanks.
