Setting Tasks to Force Close Status

To stop a task but allow subsequent tasks to run, if you are the task owner or Close Administrator, you can force a task with a status of Open or Error to have a status of Close. For example, if you have an automated task with an error, and you have reviewed the error for that task, but want subsequent tasks to run, you can force the Closed status.

Tip:

If you do not want the subsequent tasks to start, remove the predecessor links before force closing the tasks.

To set a task to Force Close status:

  1. Select a task, and select Actions, then Open. and select the Properties or Related Tasks tab.
  2. From the Task Actions page, select Actions, then Force Close.

The status of the task changes to Closed.
