# Update the statue of 'My Active Project Tasks' items 

The **My Active Project Tasks** view allows users to review and update tasks assigned to them across projects. This view is particularly relevant for organisations that do not use timesheets or formal time tracking, providing a simple way to manage task progress and maintain visibility.

Tasks from external scheduling tools (e.g. Microsoft Project) may also appear in this view for visibility purposes.

* * *

## Important Notes

-   This feature assumes the user has **access to the related project(s)**
-   Tasks created directly in Altus can be **updated and maintained**
-   Tasks originating from external schedules (e.g. Microsoft Project):
-   -   Are displayed for **visibility only**
    -   Are **read-only** and cannot be edited in Altus
    -   Must be updated in the source system
-   Updates to **% Complete** should be aligned with the **Project Manager or schedule owner** to ensure consistency with the overall project plan

* * *

## Accessing My Active Project Tasks

1.  Navigate to **Work**
2.  Select **Tasks**

## Updating a Task Status

To update the status of an Altus-managed task:

1.  Locate the task in the **My Active Project Tasks** list
2.  Select the **Task Name** to open the record
3.  In the task form, find the **Status** field
4.  Update the **Status** as required (e.g. Not Started, In Progress, Completed)
5.  Update the **% Complete** field to reflect current progress
6.  -   Confirm updates with the **Project Manager or schedule owner** where required
7.  Select **Save** or **Save & Close**

## Read-Only Tasks (External Schedules)

For tasks linked from external tools (e.g. Microsoft Project):

-   The task can be viewed in Altus for context
-   Fields such as **Status, % Complete, dates, and progress** are **not editable**
-   Updates must be made directly in the external scheduling tool

* * *

## Key Fields to Review

When updating a task, consider reviewing:

-   **Status** – Reflects the current progress of the task
-   **% Complete** – Indicates how much work has been completed
-   **Project** – Confirms the associated project
-   **Assigned To** – Ensures correct ownership
-   **Dates (if available)** – Indicates expected timing

* * *

## How to Use This Feature

Use the My Active Project Tasks view to:

-   Track and maintain **task progress** without timesheets
-   Provide visibility of **work completion** using % Complete
-   Monitor work across **multiple projects**
-   Maintain visibility of both **native and externally scheduled tasks**

* * *

## Tips

-   Align % Complete updates with the **latest schedule expectations**
-   Coordinate with the **PM or schedule owner** for consistency
-   Be aware of read-only tasks linked from external schedules
-   Update status regularly to reflect actual progress
