When the approval process is in progress for an approval
task, the approval task is locked. If a project manager clicks a locked
approval task in spreadsheet edit mode, an error results. You might
need to add another step after the approval process starts. To avoid
this error, you add a task and then change number the system assigns
to the task.
Procedure
- Decide what dependency option you want the new task or
stage to use. Click In Series () and
select No Dependencies, In Series,
or In Parallel.
Your selection remains
in effect until you change it again.
- Select any row that is not locked.
Select
the row immediately below the locked approval task.
- Add a stage, approval, or task. Click Add Row () and then select Task, Approval, Stage,
or From Task.
- Change the number that the system assigns to the new task
or stage so that it follows the locked task.
Suppose
that the locked task is 2.5 Review copy - informal (2.3).
Click the name of the new task and change its number to 2.6.
When you click in another spreadsheet cell, the system moves the new
task so that it is after task 2.5.
