    The problem task enters the **Closed** state with **Close code** as **Complete**.

    **Note:** You can configure the Problem properties to reanalyze a task even after it is closed by selecting **Re-assess**. The state of the task changes from **Closed** to **Assess**. After all the problem tasks are completed or canceled, a notification is sent to the problem coordinator regarding the same.
