Status of the Task

A Task can have either of the following status - Open, Working, Pending Review, Closed, Cancelled.

• By default each new Task created shall have the status set to 'Open'.

• If a Time Log is made against a task, its status shall be set to 'Working'.

Dependent Task

You can specify a list of dependent task under the 'Depends On' section.

• You cannot close the parent Task until all 'Dependant Task' are closed.

• If the Dependent Task are delayed and overlap with the expected Start Date of the Parent task, the system will reschedule the parent task.
