'''Suspending''' a task prevents dwarves from working on the task but does not remove the order. Suspension of tasks can occur either on purpose, through the {{k|q}} menu's {{k|s}}uspend command, or can happen when dwarves are frightened away from a task like building a [[construction|wall]]. Suspended tasks are marked with a red '''S'''.

*Adding suspended tasks to [[workshop]] queues prevents new tasks from being added by the [[manager]]. This is especially useful when workshops are assigned to specific dwarves.
 
−
:*As an example: A fortress is in dire need of [[cabinet]]s to corral the hundreds of [[clothing|mittens]] floating through every hallway like autumn leaves. There are six [[mason]]'s workshops, all producing [[block]]s for some [[Mega construction|dwarvenly purpose]]. One of the masons is Legendary, producing masterpiece [[furniture]] with careless abandon. The other five are [[experience|Accomplished]] [[combat skill|Blowgunners]] that were immediately put to work as Dabbling Masons.

::By assigning a workshop to the legendary mason specifically, and adding nine suspended tasks to each of the other workshops in addition to a Rock Blocks (R) order, orders placed through the manager will have nowhere to be assigned but the legendary dwarf's workshop. The bevy of crappy masons will keep producing blocks, and wonderful furniture will be produced in droves without constant oversight.

::Alternatively, you can queue ten block construction tasks set to [[repeat]] in the mason shops.
