You 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.
To add a pause task to a job:
Complete the fields on the Pause Task Edit page.
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 (*).
If needed, click the Re-calculate Baseline checkbox.
Click Add Pause Task.
