Updating a Task from the Process History Checklist

When a Task has been created from a Process, if it has been set as a blocking Task and needs to be "Completed" before the Process will continue, it can be updated from the Client Process History Checklist, or if relevant from the Job Process History Checklist. Refer to Completing a Task from the Process History Checklist in Client Process History Checklist.

Deleting Tasks

If you are the creator of the Task or an FYI administrator, you can delete a task. Select one or more Tasks in a Tasks list and click Delete. To delete a single Task, you can also right-click and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
