Objective

To edit a task using the project's Task tool. 

Background

Users with 'Admin' level permission on the project's Tasks tool can edit all project tasks. Users with 'Standard' level permission can only edit the project tasks that they created or to which they have been assigned. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To edit any task, 'Admin' permission on the project's Tasks tool.
    • To edit a task that you created, 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions on the Tasks tool. 
      Note: The task can be updated to any status.
    • To edit a task for which you are the Assignee, 'Standard' permission on the Tasks tool.
      Note: The status of the task can be updated to 'Initiated', 'In Progress', or 'Ready for Review', but NOT to 'Closed' or 'Void'.
  • Additional Information:
    • A task's 'Due Date' and 'Status' fields can also be quickly edited from the Tasks display table.
    • You can also change the status of a task when adding a comment. 
    • When a task is placed into the 'Void' or 'Closed' status, the system will no longer send automated email notifications for that task.
