Use the Pause Task Edit page to stop the progress of a job for a short duration. The reasons for pausing a job is setup at the company level. Adding a Pause Task to the schedule is like adding a regular task to the schedule. It may or may not affect the schedule or duration of the job. If a Pause Task is added that has a longer duration than tasks that have the same rank, it becomes the critical path task and will affect the schedule. When the update button is clicked the schedule will be re-calculated based on the rank and duration.
The fields that appear on the Pause Task Edit page depend on if you are using Task Predecessor Scheduling, or Phase/Rank Scheduling. All required fields are designated with an asterisk (*).
After you create the pause task, you can come back to this page later and edit or delete the pause task. The "Delete" button only appears if you have the "Update Hold/Add Pause Task" role function.
To add a pause task to a job:
Complete the fields on the Pause Task Edit page.
For users using Predecessor scheduling, you enter multiple predecessors by separating each one with a comma.
If needed, click the Re-Calculate Baseline check box.
When this is checked, the page checks the Company Profile page to see which type of schedule re-calc is selected for the company and uses this type to re-calc the schedule.
Click Add Pause Task.
