Note

Please note: Is this a One-Off or the Last Update is a great option for DAILY UPDATES.

Answer Yes if you wish only to update the Project Status on the Details page or if this is the last detailed update for which you wish to use the sleep timer functionality.

When the Yes option is used, in both instances above, no new spawned processes will occur. If you have used the Yes option, and at a later date, you want another PMU and the option to use the sleep timer simply start a new instance of the process.
