Manual activity status transitions
You can change the activity status manually when the Auto-update Activity Status box is not checked. You can change the status during any of the states (not started, in progress, or complete).
- If you change the status of an activity to In Progress, you can enter the actual start date. This clears the existing actual finish date.
- If you change the status of an activity to Not Started, both the actual start date and the actual finish date are read only.
- If you change the status of an activity to Complete, you can enter an actual finish date. In this case, the actual start date, if it is not populated, is set to the actual finish date at activity completion.
