[Version 5.0.2 and later]Completing a work item

Before you begin

Before you can complete a work item, you must claim the work item, as described in Claiming a work item.

Why and when to perform this task

After you have claimed a work item, you can perform the actions needed to complete it.

You do not have to complete a work item in one step. While working with a work item, you can save changes you make to the work item and leave the work item to do other things. For example, you might want to save your changes if your work is interrupted or if you need to get more information before you can complete the work item.

Steps for this task

  1. Display the Activity page, for example, by clicking the name of the activity on your My To Dos page.
  2. Complete the input for the work item.
    The content of the Activity Output Message section, including the number and types of input fields, depends on the design of the activity in the process template.
  3. (Optional)   If you want to save your changes, click Save Changes.
  4. If you have finished all the required input, you can complete the work item.
    [Version 5.0.2 and later]Click Complete. When you click Complete, you cannot make any more changes to the work item.
    [5.0 only]Click Complete Activity. When you click Complete Activity, you cannot make any more changes to the work item.
    If required input is missing, you cannot complete the work item. The Activity page indicates the input you still need to supply to complete the work item.

Results

When you complete the work item, the Web client window refreshes to display your My To Dos page. Information about the completed work item is saved. This information is now available to subsequent activities in the process.
