Marking Elements as complete in ClearPoint helps users track progress on important Projects or Initiatives. Users can mark Initiatives, Milestones, and Action Items as complete in ClearPoint. When you mark an Element as complete, you can also track the completed date.


Marking Elements as complete

Marking complete from an Initiative detail page

  • Select Scorecards & Elements from the Control Panel

  • Choose Manage Reports

  • Open Initiative Reports

  • Select the Report you are going to be working with, in this example, ‘Initiative Prioritization’.

  • Click on the Initiative to get to the Detail Page.

  • Mark the checkbox next to the Element to indicate completion.

  • Confirm your changes by clicking the green checkmark at the upper-right of your screen.

By default, today’s date will be entered as the Completed Date.

Note: When you mark an element as completed, all update fields will carry forward into future periods. Fields like Analysis, Percent Complete, and the element status are update fields.


Marking Elements complete from the edit window

  • Select Scorecards & Elements from the Control Panel

  • Choose Manage Reports

  • Open Initiative Reports

Managing completed items

  • From the Control Panel click on System Settings

  • Click on Report Options under Standard Features

  • Navigate to the Completed Items tab

    • The first option is Strike through completed items, which displays a line through the text of elements marked complete.

    • The latter four options determine whether initiatives, milestones, action items, or risks can be marked complete from summary views. If these boxes are selected, you will see a check box next to all elements of this type on a summary report, as shown above. You can then check this box to mark each element complete.
