Tasks¶
Tasks are work to be done. Often (but not always) this is inspection work. Typically, you specify an asset that the task is to be done on, and an event type specifying the type of work to be done. For example, if the task is to carry out a GVI of the asset, you would specify event type ‘GVI’. Tasks are grouped into workpacks.
In NEXUS IC, you can maintain tasks on the Tasks tab page, which is available on the PLANNING and WORKPACK screens. On this tab page, you can use the standard grid functions, including:
Adding/Editing/Deleting tasks (see Using the Grid)
Customising the layout of the grid (see Customise)
Checking the selected item’s connections (see Connections)
You can also show or hide the Task Instructions pane. Task instructions can come from the task’s event type, from its planning template, or from the task itself. These instructions are shown in a pane on the right.
On the PLANNING screen, you have the option to show tasks for the currently selected asset and all the related child or parent assets.
Creating Tasks¶
For information about creating tasks, see Creating Tasks.
Assigning Tasks¶
To ensure that tasks appear on an inspector’s task list, you must assign tasks to the inspector. To do that, edit the tasks (possibly with multi-select) and set “Assigned To” to the desired inspector. You can click Add on the picker to create a new inspector. The next time the inspector clicks Sync in IC-Inspector, they will receive their tasks.
Note that in case you do not assign an ad hoc task to an inspector, it will still be synchronised to all inspectors that have at least one assigned task in the same workpack.
Rescheduling Tasks¶
You can reschedule tasks from the Tasks tab page by selecting the task and choosing Reschedule from the toolbar. Reschedule allows for planning template tasks to be moved from one workpack to another. Once a task has been moved, then you must perform an “Update” on the Planning Template. The Reschedule option is not available for tasks that have been imported or manually created.
Properties of a Task¶
When you create or edit a task, the Add Task or Edit Task dialog opens. See Add/Edit Task Dialog for help with defining the properties of tasks.
