Changing an Activity's Status

Set an activity to In-Progress, Completed, or another status.

An activity's status is a field on the activity itself, not a control you can click on the activity page. There is no status drop-down on the activity view and no per-step submit button. To change a status you open the activity for editing, set the Status field, and save the whole activity.

Before you start

You need edit rights on the activity. In practice that means the person who sent it or an administrator in the portal. If you do not see an Edit Activity option, ask the sender or your program manager to make the change.

Changing the status

  1. Select Activities in the sidebar and open the All Activities or My Activities tab.
  2. Open the activity by selecting its subject, then select Edit Activity. You can also do this without opening the activity: select the … menu in the Actions column at the end of the row and choose Edit Activity.
  3. On the Edit Activity form, go to the Status field.
  4. Select the field to open the list, then choose the new status. A search box is available at the top of the list.
  5. Select Update Activity at the bottom of the form to save.

Please note: Saving updates the whole activity, not just the status. Subject (Title), Type, Description, Priority, and Status are all required. If any of them is empty the form will not save until you fill it in.

What you can change on the same form

Because you are editing the whole activity, the same form also lets you change the subject, type, description, due date, priority, event date, and the linked courses and course collections. The recipient is fixed and shown for reference, and the emailed sender and emailed recipient indicators are read-only.

Archiving is a separate action

The Actions menu on each row also offers Archive Activity, which is not the same as setting the Status field to Archived. Archiving removes the activity from the default list; use the Show Archived Activities toggle above the table to bring archived activities back into view.

Confirming the change

After saving you are returned to the activity, and the new value appears in the Status column of the activity list. Use the Status column heading to sort, or the Status filter above the table to show only the activities you care about.
