How to Change the Status of a Task

Changing the status of a task lets you and your colleagues know the status of a protocol.

A task begins at Not Started and ends at Completed or Done if you have the 21 CFR Part 11 add-on.

  5. Choose Move to - Completed from the drop-down menu.
  6. If you want to change the protocol status back to 'Not Started' click on Return to Not Started.
If you have the 21 CFR Part 11 add-on, you will have additional statuses. 
  1. To move the protocol to 'In review', click on the Completed button.
  2. Choose Move to - In review from the drop-down menu.
  3. A pop-up will appear, select Move & Lock.
    • You will sign and request signatures at this stage. This article goes over how to request signatures.
  4. Once you are finished, click on In review.
  5. Select Move to - Done. 

If you'd like for a task to go from In review back to Completed, the e-signatures need to be revoked. This article goes over how to revoke signatures. 

Protocols can progress forward and backward one step, but cannot skip steps in between.
