Automatically Promote my task changes to their parent project (share with other authors)
After making the desired content changes, press Begin Promotion Automation
in the Task View - Task Details panel actions button list.
A "Preparing for task promotion automation..." notification is presented in the page header bar.
Unmet SAC items block automatic promotion
If the task has any Service Acceptance Criteria (SAC) items, task promotion will be blocked and the Begin Promotion Automation
action button will not be enabled until all mandatory task-level SAC are met.
Role-based access controls apply to automatic promotion
If the user's authenticated account session roles do not include permissions for task promotion (such as when viewing another author's task), the Begin Promotion Automation
action button will not be enabled.

The automated promotion process first checks to see if the task has been reviewed.
If a review has not yet been completed the Promote Task dialogue presents a warning message with calls to action to either continue or return to task editing and cancel the promotion.
Press Promote Anyway
to continue the promotion process.
Press Return To Task
to close the dialogue and stop the promotion process.

Following the review check, the task is then placed in a promotion automation queue.
A notification panel showing "Automated promotion in progress: Status Queued" is presented between Edit Task Details
and Classify
in the Task View - Task Details panel actions button list.
An "Automated promotion: Queued" status icon is also presented in the page header bar.

When picked up from the queue, the task is checked to see if needs to be rebased.
If the task content is diverged from its parent project content, the process initiates a task rebase, and the notification panel changes to "Automated promotion in progress: Status: Rebasing".
If rebase completes with no conflicts, the auto-promotion process continues.


After confirming that the task does not have any rebase conflicts, classification is invoked to ensure all content changes are classified prior to promotion.
The process notification panel changes to "Automated promotion in progress: Status Classifying"
The page header bar icon changes to "Classification Running".

Once the promotion automation invokes the classification process, the My Tasks view task Status
column entry changes to Auto Classifying.

If classification detects results (unclassified task content), a header notification states that classification completed successfully with changes found.


If classification does not detect any changes, a header notification states that classification completed successfully with no changes found.

The automation process proceeds with task promotion, following which a header notification states that automated promotion completed for the task.
At this point task actions become inactive, and the process notification panel changes to inform that the task has been promoted and no further changes are allowed.

Promoted tasks are hidden by default in the My Tasks view, however they can be brought into the view listing by checking the Show Promoted
checkbox.
Their task status shows Promoted, with a blue background.
All historical promoted tasks are shown when the box is checked, not just the most recently promoted.
