11. This also shows progress on the Progress bar in the job

12. To mark tasks as completed (green), click within the task row
13. You can then choose to click the Edit button or Toggle Progress along the row using the toggle arrow.


14. Selecting Edit, will give you the following pop-up page

15. Click on the '+' button until the progress % reaches 100% and the Status box turns green and reads 'Completed'.

16. Click Save.

This will move the job to Completed in the job menu.
