Close the Project

The final step in the lifecycle of a project is project closure.

After all of the project work is completed, all of the billing has been finalized, invoices have been paid, and the job is complete, you can close out the project. The least permanent and most flexible method is to use the Project Status field on the Summary pane to change the status from Active to Inactive or Dormant. Another option is to use the Project Closeout utility in Utilities > Updates > Project Closeout. Make sure to backup your Vantagepoint database before using this process. The Project Closeout utility closes out project, phases, and tasks and transfers the closed-out information to either another project, phase, or task of the same type or to a special completed project, phase, or task number.
