Managing Checklists

Stop checklist generation
Sometimes you know the checklists that are automatically generated are not going to be completed. Maybe you are short-staffed or certain operations are temporarily shut down. In such a case, you can turn OFF the checklist and later turn it back ON when needed.
Clear generated checklists that are not going to be completed
Maybe you forgot to turn OFF checklists in time or you know the generated checklists are never going to be completed. These checklists are cluttering your task panel and inflating the reports. In that case you can clear all incomplete, outstanding checklists by going to the checklist and clicking on Clear All Incomplete.
