Set the Item Status as Complete from Item’s Status System Table
Users can create special reports based on the filter, or show this field in report results.
For example:
Create an alert that is generated once a day that will display a list of Software Requirements where the Completion Date is not empty.
This alert will send users a list of all completed software requirements on a daily basis.
This field can be used in Dashboard charts displaying work items ordered by their status.
