Skip Copy Task(s)

Note: Skipping a copy task works slightly differently from skipping ordinary tasks. For details on skipping ordinary tasks, refer to Skip Task(s).

You can skip a task at any time—before or after the project starts—if it is not required for that specific project..

Note:

  • You cannot skip the current active copy task.
  • For In-progress projects, a copy task can be skipped by:
    • The assigned participants
    • The initiators (users assigned to the Start activity).
  • For assigned participants to skip a copy task in an in-progress project, the Edit Stakeholder setting must be enabled for that copy task.
  • Before project initiation, initiators can skip copy tasks.

To Skip a Copy Task

  1. Log in to your ManageArtworks account.
  2. If you are skipping a copy task in an in-progress project:
    1. Navigate to Project Views.
    2. You can skip the copy task from any view which lists in-progress project. To switch views, click the hamburger menu and select the desired view.


       
    3. Open the desired in-progress project and go to the Tasks tab.
    4. In the Skip column, select the checkbox for the copy task(s) you want to skip. The copy task name will display with a strike-through.
      Note: If the checkbox is greyed out or disabled, click the Edit Form button and then select the checkbox. For assigned participants to skip a copy task, make sure that the Edit Stakeholder setting is enabled for that task.


       
    5. Click Save to skip the task.
  3. If you are skipping a copy task before project initiation:
    1. In the project and go to the Tasks tab.
    2. In the Skip column, select the checkbox for the task(s) you want to skip. The task name will display with a strike-through.
    3. Click Initiate New Project or Save & Close to skip the task.
