Closing a process is a procedure needed to:
inform the system that the task has been finished
release the user´s locked cells, making them available for other users
stop the clock of the task´s time control
A process should be closed every time the user stops working on the task. However, there are different status that can be attributed to a task when closing processes.
Go to the menu CONTROLLER → PROCESS CONTROL.
Select the task on the task list and click on the End Current Process button. The following interface will be shown.
The user should choose between one of the available options, according to each case:
Leave Process Open: select this option whenever the task is not finished
Close Process: select this option when the task is completely finished
Send to Review: this option should be used on the validation phase of a project, more specifically when the work done is reproved by one of the auditors.
Select the option Close Process. The process will appear as shown in the following figure.
