Task Types

A Task Type specification is backed by the built-in form manager (see Form Management ) delivering the same freedom to record the information that matters to your organisation, without needing to fit within any predefined system limits. Each task definition is essentially an attribute form that can be posted against a component many times – to track the changes over time.

In information management speak, the task definitions offer one-to-many relationship capabilities.

Further to the above, a task definitions can also be linked to one or more attached documents and/or images. These attachments can be used to provide additional context to the task definition. When mobile application users interface with the task definition, they can view the attachments and download them to their device for offline. Sample use cases for task definition attachments include:

• A photo of a damaged component
• A PDF of a service manual
• A photo of a completed task
