Overview

The Schedule Status Updates page is where administrators review, approve, or reject the schedule updates submitted by Control Account Managers through the Quick Status page. Each row shows one pending submission — the CAM’s proposed changes to a single activity alongside the current schedule values, so you can compare before approving. Approved changes are immediately written back to the live schedule.

Permissions

This page is accessible to administrators only.

Approving Updates

To approve a single activity update, click Approve on that row. The change is immediately applied to the live schedule:
  • Start date, finish date, duration, and percent complete are updated on the activity.
  • Activity description changes are applied.
  • Any added or removed predecessors and successors are applied to the task link table.
  • If the submission was flagged as Delete Activity, the activity and its links are removed from the schedule.
  • Activity step changes (if any) are transferred to the live schedule steps.
To approve all pending submissions at once, click Approve All. Each submission is processed in sequence.
Approval is immediate and writes directly to the live schedule. Review the proposed changes carefully before approving — there is no undo for approved schedule updates.

Deleting a Submission

To reject or discard a submission without approving it, click Delete on the row. The submission is removed and the CAM’s changes are not applied to the schedule. The CAM can resubmit corrected values through Quick Status. Schedule Status Updates
