# Acting Upon/Approving/Rejecting a Task

### **Acting Upon/Approving/Rejecting a Task**

**Contract Tasks: Act Upon a Task** To **Approve** (or **Complete**), **Reject**, or apply another status to a task, navigate to the **Task Details** screen and click **View** for the task line item. Before being acted upon, a task's status is Open.

By clicking **the desired value** on the side menu of the **Task Details** page, the task’s **Contract Details** list on the **Tasks, E-mails, Workflow, Alerts** displays. Notice the task’s **Status** is now updated and is no longer listed as Open.

By setting the Task's **Status** to **Task Complete**, e-mails for this task alert are disabled; no further alerts will be sent out. For more information about disabling Alerts for statuses, see the [Task Status Management](/v1/docs/task-status-manager) Wiki page.

**Note**: If configured to permit such a change, if the task is marked as **Complete** but needs to be changed, click **View** for that task line item. When brought to the **Task & Event Details** screen, click **Reject** on the side menu of the task details page. **Complete/Approve Task** will no longer be available as the task has already been completed.
