    Standards hub
    Browse and compare standards using an upgraded hub that provides tile and list views with filters for state, scope, category, functional location, and equipment model.
    Users can quickly compare similar standards and see linked tasks, skills, and knowledge.
    Access policies differentiate enterprise and site standards to help prevent misapplication.
    Scheduling
    Generate recurring work from standards by configuring daily, weekly, monthly, and custom scheduling patterns to maintain a consistent operational cadence.
    A system property (for example, an offset in minutes) lets admins align task creation with shift handovers or production calendar boundaries.
    Runtime tracing improves visibility into created tasks, their status, and exceptions.
    Skill-based task management
