Completed Tasks and Setting Publish Flag

[MK]

I need some confirmation prior to sending this message company-wide...is my
scenario below a best practice that i should recommend.

Please advise and help me with my scenario too.

Scenario
A question that has been raised many times is why so many tasks and why so
many completed tasks. Project Owners can choose to publish either entire
plans or certain tasks thereby controlling the number of tasks that appear on
My Task lists for team members. Here’s a tip on how this procedure can be
done.

MY TASKS – WHY DO I SEE COMPLETED TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS IN MY CURRENT VIEW?

The definition of Current tasks should be in-progress, overdue and
assignments due to start within set number of days as configured by
administrator – Workscape is 7 days.

PROJECT OWNER BEST PRACTICE STEP WHEN TASKS ARE COMPLETE
After updating the project with actuals (or % complete), Project
Managers/Owners should;
1. Set the ‘Publish’ flag for completed tasks to ‘No'. Note: use built-in
filter to quickly identify completed tasks.
2. Save Project
3.Publish project
4.File > Close and Check-in
