# Close a work order task as complete

Only agents can close work order tasks assigned to them.

## Before you begin

Role required: wm\_agent

## About this task

If the caller's problem was fixed or resolved, use the **Close Complete** option.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Field Service** > **Agent** > **Assigned to me**.

2.  Open a work order task.

3.  Add information to the **Work notes** field.

    The notes should include a description of the work done and any other helpful information.

4.  Enter a date and time earlier than the current date and time in the **Actual Work End** field.

    You cannot add a date and time later than the current date and time.

    If you do not enter a date and time, the ServiceNow system adds the current date and time automatically when you click **Closed Complete**.

5.  Click **Close Complete**.
