• In the initial screen, select your Task, then click the Status button
  Screen GA047S07 appears
  Screenshot
• Select the item which has been completed
• Click the date the Task was completed for this item on the calendar (In this case on the 25th March)
• Click on the Done On button
  
  Repeat for other specimens as necessary
• After clicking the Done On button for a number of specimens, the status looks like this:

What ifs

What if we wanted to record the overall status of a task as Complete, leaving one item in the task NOT done?
This Screenshot shows the how to enable and apply the Finish button

What if we want to re-active the task marked as Finished in the previous step?
This Screenshot shows how

What if we didnt have time to sow all our seed on the planned Task date, and we need to re-schedule?
Click the Edit Dates button Screenshot
Screen GA047S04 appears
In GA047S04 follow these steps to reschedule the task date
 

1. See Screenshot
   Click to select the NEW date for the task in the calendar
   Note how the date you click moves into the Change Task Date field
   In this case we are changing the date from 25th March to 3rd April
   
   NOTE: The date in the calendar control will change when you click on the Task Date in step 2
   However, the important date for this operation is the date which has moved into the Change Task Date field. (in this case 3rd April)
2. In the Task Do dates/Alert days list, click the original Task Date (25th March)
   Make sure the date field caption changes to Existing Task Date
3. Enter a value for Alert Days if required
4. The most important step is to click the left arrow button to apply the date change
   When you click this button, a dialog box appears asking if you wish to continue with your date change.
   When you click the Yes button in response to this confirmation request, the date change is applied and the task is rescheduled to the new date
5. Click the Close button to return to screen GA047S07
   The screen with your rescheduled task date is shown in the next screenshot
   Note that the Task date reschedule did NOT affect the task items which had been recorded as Done on the original date

Finishing the task
We will now assume that we sowed the seed for our final Task item on the rescheduled date
In screen GA047S01:

1. Click to select the item to be recorded as Done on 3rd April
   Screenshot
2. Set the Done on date to 3rd April (the rescheduled date for this task)
   TIP: You can do this two ways
   2a) Click the date in the Calendar
   -or (easier)-
   2b) Click the date in the Task Do Dates list
   See Screenshot
3. Click the Done on button

Note that you dont HAVE to do the task on the task date, and you dont HAVE to reschedule your task if you dont do the task on the planned date.
The program will allow you to record any date you select as the Done on date

When the Task is completed, screen GA047S07 looks like this:

When you click close and return to the initial screen GA047S01, you will have to change the setting of the radio buttons to see your finished task in the list
