How to promote a complex task (one with SAC/AAG gateway controls) to include its changes in the parent project. This is an extension of the simpler promotion process for non-complex tasks.

Move the This activates any task-level Service Acceptance Criteria (SAC) which are defined within the parent project SAC configuration. Task-level SAC are presented in two lists, between the Task Details section and the Automatic Task-level SAC are listed to the left, with Manual Task-level SAC to the right. Automatic SAC have a yellow warning triangle icon if not yet met, and a green tick if their automated system checks confirm they are satisfied. Manual SAC are presented initially as open checkboxes, each of which can be interactively checked (green-ticked) when the user's role-based access permissions match those configured for that SAC control. |  |
Until all mandatory task-level SAC are met, task promotion will be blocked and International Authoring - Task SAC - Examples Early Visibility Notice if Required Role-based access controls apply to manual task-level SAC If the user's authenticated account session roles do not include edit permissions for the task (such as when viewing another author's task), the current manual SAC status will be shown, but cannot be set. |

Press a manual SAC checkbox to toggle its status. It will show a green ticked box when checked, indicating its condition is met. When all mandatory task-level SAC conditions are met for a Complex task then promotion is enabled and The example shown in the screenshot shows a Complex task which requires a review to be completed ( "Review complete" mandatory automated Task-level SAC) and also for the author to confirm that the task validation report has no task-level RVF assertion failures ("RVF Report Clean" mandatory manual Task-level SAC). |

Once task promotion is enabled, follow the non-complex task steps (included below) to complete promotion of the task. Although the screenshots show simple tasks without task-level SAC, the steps to promote once it is enabled are the same for all tasks. Task promotion has implicit checks for the following conditions: If no content has been changed on the task when promotion is initiated, a Promote Task pop-up notification states the there are no changes to promote. Press If content changes have been made but any of the other conditions are not yet satisfied when promotion is initiated, a Promote Task pop-up notification shows their statuses, with action options to cancel the promotion, or to continue if task changes are considered sufficiently safe to update the project level content without satisfying these conditions. Press Press Promoting tasks with warnings Pressing Promoting unclassified content changes is a quality assurance risk that can be avoided relatively easily, since it typically takes less than ten minutes to run classification (if only to confirm no results). However there are occasions when it is clear that inferred classification results won't change, such as a description-only content change, in which case this option may be acceptable. By-passing review may also be acceptable under particular circumstances, for instance if the author is also the project manager / project lead. Note that this scenario can be prevented by setting the task as Complex and also having Review Completed set as a mandatory task-level SAC requirement within its parent project configuration, since task promotion in this case will not be enabled without a completed review. A "Promoting task..." notification is presented in the page header whilst branch content changes are merged to the project level. During promotion, the task content branch is locked to prevent any further changes, and a warning notification is presented below the Once task promotion is completed, a "Task successfully promoted for PROJECT-##" notification (where PROJECT-## is the task identifier) is presented in the page header. Following promotion no further changes are allowed on the task content branch, all action buttons in the Task Details panel become inactive, and a warning notification is presented below the now inactive Steps References Press Promote This Task to the Project in the Task View - Task Details panel actions button list
A "Preparing for task promotion" notification is presented in the page header, and the Promote This Task to the Project button is disabled.

Edit Task Details action button in the Task Details panel. Whilst this is present, changes cannot be made to the content saved in the task branch, and action buttons other than Edit Task Details and Submit for Review become inactive.
