Canceling Tasks

The purpose of canceling a task, instead of performing a Forced Close, is to prevent successor tasks from continuing and to keep the process moving:

  • When a Finish-to-Start or Finish-Error-to-Start predecessor is canceled, its successor tasks remain as Pending. To keep the process moving, you must edit the successor tasks to remove the canceled predecessor and to start the successors.

  • When a Finish-to-Finish or Finish-Error-to-Finish predecessor is canceled, to keep the process moving, the task owner/schedule owner/administrator must force a close of the successor task.
