After you have added a new activity, the most common update is to change the status.

After you commit to complete a new task, you mark your committed tasks as either complete or incomplete. Tasks marked incomplete must be assigned a root cause, for example, where equipment or labor is not available. Each update has rules that apply to each status group.

• Committed. Finish date and duration are locked.
• Open. All fields are open for editing.
• Backlog. All fields are open for editing.
• Complete. All fields are locked.
• Incomplete. All fields are locked. You must provide a root cause and you have the option to reschedule and add notes.
