Milestone detailed view

In the milestone detailed view you can complete a milestone by clicking Complete Milestone or re-open a completed milestone by Reopen Milestone. From here you can add a comment to the Milestone, or you can view the Audit Log for the activity of the milestone. You will also see the progress of the entire milestone (based on all tasks) as well as associated task lists:
  1. The % complete for all the tasks associated
  2. The % complete for each of the associated task lists

Shifting dependent milestones

When editing the due date of a milestone, the due date of all dependent milestones and associated tasks can also be changed by an equal number of days. To shift all dependent milestones and tasks, simply check the corresponding boxes after editing a milestone's due date.

 

 

Undoing a milestone deletion

When deleting a milestone you can recover the deleted milestone by clicking "Undo" in the green pop up box that appears at the top of the screen after selecting "Delete".

 

Once the milestone is restored, a green dialogue box will pop up to confirm the success of the milestone’s recovery. Refresh the page to see the milestone appear again.

Note: Once the page has been refreshed after a milestone has been deleted the undo options will no longer be available.
