Tasks Tab

Task items are the instances of company-defined task definitions, which belong to task workflows optionally assigned to assemblies and parts. Each task item knows the assembly or part to which it belongs and holds a reference to the user and/or station with start and completed time stamps. The Task tab is used to manage part tasks for an assembly. It works in conjunction with Task Definitions. An operator can set the Use Hand Scanner option so that a hand scanner (rather than a keyboard/mouse) can be used to change task status and indicate completed work. A user must be associated with a project role that includes permission for Assemblies > Viewer > Tasks.

1. The Task Tab only displays.

   

2. Click the Tasks tab to display:

   1. The list of tasks filtered based on the tasks that the assigned station (device) can perform.

   2. Tasks in sequential order with buttons for Start and Finish.

      1. Red – indicates the task has not been started.

      2. Blue – indicates the task has been started.

      3. Green – the task is done.

   3. The table which includes the part Number, the part Name, the Task definition name, and the QR code.

3. If the Use Hand Scanner button has been clicked, the operator can scan the QR Code to change the task status from Start to Finish. Later the operator can scan the QR Code to change the task status from Finish to Done which will result in the Update Tracking Status dialog. Note: The operator can also click the Start and Finish buttons to accomplish the same actions.

Features

Assembly View

90% of the time the default view in the Assemblies Viewer will display the needed information. In some cases, when a user selects a View that does not contain all the parts in the Assembly, a warning icon will display "View does not contain all parts in the Assembly". To resolve the issue, change to a view that includes all parts in the package.

In other cases, like risers, the default view may not include all of the model parts and will need to be overridden. Only a Project Admin can change and override a default view.
