Commit to a Task on the Task List Page

Video

Commit to tasks to agree to perform their work by a specified date. In the Commitments detail window, you can track the commitment history of a task, including committed dates, due dates, reasons missed, and comments. You cannot commit to private tasks, task milestones, or completed tasks. If a proposed due date exists for a task, it will be displayed in the Commit Task dialog box. This enables you to review the proposed due date before selecting the same or a different due date for the commitment. When a task is committed, the proposed due date is removed from the task, and the current due date is updated to match the committed due date.
