Tracker

In Tracker, you can mark individual activities as cancelled and select the reason why. This information will also show if you export your Tracker plan into an excel.

You can do this for activities in previous years’ plans, current year’s plans and future year’s plans. You can set planned or completed activities as cancelled, and use the preset reasons for cancellation or set your own.

Step 2 – Select the box in the Cancelled column and choose the reason for cancellation in the modal that appears. You can use one of the preset reasons, or add your own using the “Other” option. Then, select “Mark Cancelled”

Step 3 – There will now be a checkbox in the Cancelled column next to that activity, and when you expand the activity information it will include the reason for the cancellation
