Update Selected Tasks in Project

When you click Update in the Task List page for a project, WorldServer schedules for update all tasks selected in the update view.

Note: To see the Update button, you must have one of the following update views selected in the task view selector:

all tasks with changed assets – This view shows all tasks whose assets have been updated since the task was segmented.
active tasks with changed assets – This view shows all active (not completed or canceled) tasks whose assets have been updated since the task was segmented.
finished tasks with changed assets – This view shows all completed or canceled tasks whose assets have been updated since the task was segmented.

When you click Update, the Update Tasks confirmation dialog box displays; if you click OK, all selected tasks are put into a Pending Update state. Select Include in project cost calculation if you want all the work that has occurred in the tasks to be updated in the project cost calculation.

The tasks pending update are updated (that is, canceled and restarted) when a workflow step that allows for task update has been completed.

Note: In addition to active tasks, you can update completed or canceled tasks in a similar way if there are updated assets for them. To do this, use the finished tasks with changed assets view. Although workflow operations (like Claim or Complete) are disabled for canceled or completed tasks, with this view you can select canceled and completed tasks for update.
