2. The **end time,** by default, will be the current date-time; you can add the exact time of the  
   downtime completion using the **calendar or duration tab** of the date-time picker.
3. **Optional:** You can edit the **reason code** by clicking **Change** in Step 2.
4. **Optional:** Update comments and tag Equipment.
5. Click **Stop Downtime**. Done!

 

#### **Validation Rule:**

- Ongoing downtime can be stopped only if there is an active downtime in progress in that Line.
