Auto Close Parent Activity

Contents

Use the Auto Close Parent Activity page to automatically close parent activities when all tasks and deliverables associated with the parent activity are complete. For each initiative you can choose to auto close parent activities.

If you select Yes, then the parent activity is automatically closed when the last deliverable in current phase is marked complete. The project phases automatically advance till the project is in the last phase. After all deliverables in the last phase are closed, the last phase remains open till the Project Lead or a user with project close permission clicks on the Close Project button and closes the project.

If you select No, you must manually close each phase to move to the next phase.

To modify the auto-close feature:

1. Click the Application Settings tab.
2. Select the Auto Close Parent Activity link.
3. Click the [Edit] link next to your initiative.
4. Select Yes or No.
5. Click the Update button to save your changes.
