Purpose

Project management: a footer row in a table of actions (ends the table and optionally displays a comment on the tasks in genral, the total cost and/or a comment on the project as a whole).

Usage

In the real world, use the table of tasks as an efficient way to monitor progress in a project. For each project progress meeting make a copy of the page containing the table(s) (as it was at the end of the previous meeting) and go through the tasks row by row updating the table as you go along. Usually only the theme/status and comment fields need be changed (unless extending deadlines and aspects of the Terms of Reference).

Closes/ends a table of project tasks.

Must be used in conjunction with Template:Actions Table Header and Template:ActionRow.

The three templates provide a table header row, task/activity entries (one in each row), and a footer which simply ends the table (with optional fields for the cost of all the tasks and summary comments).

The theme can be used to indicate the status of tasks (in each row) and/or status of the project (or work package etc.) as whole in the header row or footer row. The theme names are defined in Template:Task status theme.

Syntax

{{Actions Table Footer
|status theme = <name of theme>
|tasks comment = <optional comment on all the tasks in general>
|project comment = <optional comment on the project in general>
|total cost= < a text field typically a value in some currency summing the column under Cost>  
}}

Example

The footer row of the table below is defined as follows

{{Actions Table Footer|status theme = black|tasks comment = Tasks ok in general|total cost = 153,700|project comment = No show stoppers}}
