Inactivate in progress tasks.
Hello everyone! I have a small but important doubt. I want to inactivate in progress tasks, but as you may know, inactivate is only available for tasks with 0% progress. In the company that i'm work...
MarcoAzza,
As you found out, once a task is started, it can't be inactivated (disabled). There are basically three choices.
1. Extend the duration and claim no further progress
2. Split the task by dragging the Gantt bar from the end of current progress to when you think it might start again
3. Take note of the remaining work. Declare the task complete at it's current date and create a new task to pick up the remaining work. Assign the resource to the new task. At that point you can either inactivate the new task or leave it active and set a new anticipated start date.
Hope this helps.
