Updating Tasks in Schedules

You may need to manually update information on a task that is running, and in this case, you can reopen it. When you reopen a task, it is reset to Open with Assignee status, and you can edit the information. For example, you can change the instructions and references, attributes, and questions. If you make changes, previous answers to questions are cleared.

Reopening a series of tasks does not reestablish the predecessor relationships. All end-user tasks are reset to Open with Assignee. No tasks are reverted to Pending status.

You can reopen tasks under these conditions:

Table 39-2 Conditions for Reopening Tasks

Task Status	End-User
With Assignee/Running	You can edit or import data into the Instruction, Attribute, or Question sections. When you save the task, it is reset to the Assignee, and the answers to questions are cleared.
With Approver	You can edit or import data in to the Instruction, Attribute, or Question sections. When you save the task, it is reset to the Assignee, and the answers to questions are cleared.
Closed/Error	From Task Details, the task owner can click Reopen to reopen the task and make changes. When you save the task, it is reset to the Assignee.
