View Tasks Marked as Key Tasks

A Key Task is a task that you consider to be of key importance to the project. When you mark a task as a key task, its status does not impact any other Open Workbench behavior. Use the Key Tasks tab on the Project Properties dialog box to:

• View a list of key tasks on your project
• Revert key tasks to standard tasks

To edit a key task, edit the task's fields in a spreadsheet view, such as the Gantt Chart view.

To view a project's key tasks

1. Select Project Properties from the application menu at the top left corner of the window.

   The Description tab on the Project Properties dialog box opens.

2. Click the Key Tasks tab.

   A list of the project's key tasks display.

3. View the following key task data, and click OK:

   ID
