Committing tasks
This process moves tasks from a project state to history. You must have access rights to perform the commit
function. The commit dialog box has a user specific comment, allowing for a high-level description. The history
entry for the commit records the date the tasks were committed. If you commit a project that causes conflicts, you
can resolve the conflicts and revalidate the status to allow committing tasks.
If you commit changes, all users have access to the changes until collections and roles are assigned to the plan
and its assets.
NOTE: If a project is partially committed, it cannot be moved ahead of another project that is associated with it.
To commit tasks from a project:
1. Select Calendar.
2. Select a date from the calendar.
3. Click on the desired project.
4. Open Project Properties.
5. Select the Tasks tab.
6. In the Select column, check the boxes for the tasks to commit and click Commit.
7. In the Commit Task Confirmation dialog, select a task and enter a comment. You must enter a comment to
complete the commit action.
If no conflicts occur:
1. The date committed and task committed fields are populated.
2. In the calendar pane, the projects list for that project, shows the percent of the project done.
If a soft conflict occurs:
1. The conflicts notification dialog box opens with a list of conflicts and the Status tab is colored yellow.
2. You can delete the conflicted tasks or edit the settings of plan or devices for resolving the conflict, or click
Continue to continue with the commit.
If a hard conflict occurs:
1. The conflicts notification dialog box opens with a list of conflicts and the Status tab is colored red. If both
soft and hard conflicts appear on the Status tab, the color remains red.
2. You must delete the conflicted tasks in the Tasks tab.
3. When the conflicts are resolved, open the Status tab and click Revalidate to allow committing tasks. The
Status tab changes to green.
4. The status tab changes color to reflect the severity of the conflicts. The list of conflicts is shown in the table
and the status, either a hard or soft conflict.
NOTE: If the executor does not have planner rights, they must contact a user with planner rights to resolve the conflicts and revalidate
the project.
