The Stop Station feature allows you to stop either a webCATI and CATI station. You can stop a single station or multiple stations at a time. When stopping a webCATI station, you are clearing the authorization and disabling the interviewer to start a survey. Once a station has been cleared, you will need to reauthorize the station before the interviewer can log back into the survey.  When stopping a CATI station, you have the ability to stop the station after the current interview (this is typically done at the end of the shift so all interviewers log out after their last call).
