    Hi _ALL_,

 

 I know this subject have been discussed already[1], in SAS Community, but I was hoping that, being EG[2] mostly an interactive tool, made to ease projects development (especially to non-tech persons), there was an easier/quicker way to disable/enable single (or group of) tasks, while developing the project: I mean something like right-click > disable/enable or right-click > Properties > State: (o) Enabled / (__) Disabled.

 Such actions should also work when a group of tasks is selected, re/setting the property to all of them.

 The tasks which are disabled should show their state by being "greyed out" so that one can see what's enabled or not at the glance.

 A global or project-wide flag, into EG Options > Tasks, could also take care of what happens if the project flow get into them (like what currently happens to error management): to stop the execution, stop the current branch, emit a warning and continue, or just skip the disabled task at all.

 

Just my considerations on the subject, 'cause I was lacking this feature and, to have to manage tasks lists seems far less "immediate" than what me (and others) proposed.

 

[1] Suspend or disable tasks in EG 6.1 

[2] I'm using EG v7.15 HF8
