Delete a task

Remove a task you no longer need from the schedule, and see which tasks cannot be deleted.

Delete a task when it is no longer needed. Lean PlanDo removes it from the schedule completely.

  1. Click the task once to open its widget.
  2. Click Delete.

Or open the task's detailed view, open its three-dots menu and click Delete. Both show only for uncommitted tasks and for users with delete rights.

Deleting a task

You cannot delete a task that is:

  • committed
  • in progress or partly updated
  • fully updated

To delete a committed task, uncommit it first: turn off the Commit switch in its widget or detailed view. Then delete it. A started task cannot be uncommitted.

Delete a task outside the Lookahead window

If a task is not visible in the Lookahead window, delete it from the detailed view of its activity.

  1. Open the activity's detailed view from the Lookahead. Delete is hidden when you open it from the Masterplan.
  2. In its task list, open the task's menu.
  3. Click Delete. The menu shows Edit and Delete for uncommitted tasks.
