Abstract
A system and program product for updating a data record of a database to cancel a deployment of a computer workstation. A deployment status is changed from a starting status to a deployed status via intermediate statuses and then the deployment is canceled. From a decision tree stored in the database, a list of identifiers that identifies an ordered list of software routines is generated. An email message is created that includes a selectable object and a hidden field. The list of identifiers is inserted into the hidden field. The email message is sent to a user. The user's selection of the selectable object is received. The list of identifiers is obtained from the hidden field and the software routines are retrieved from the database. The software routines are executed in their order to update the status from deployed to the starting status via updates to the intermediate statuses.
