Recommit to a Task on the Task List Page

Video

If you are unable to meet the due date of a previous commitment, you can recommit to work on the task. Select one or more reasons for missing the previous commitment, and then select a new due date for the recommitment. You can optionally add comments to further explain the recommitment. Track task commitment history in the Commitments detail window. If a proposed due date exists for a task, it will be displayed in the Recommit Task dialog box. This enables you to review the proposed due date before selecting the same or a different due date for the recommitment. 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.
