Task values
Task values define the attributes applied to each task created by a schedule, enabling consistent and accurate task generation.
Task values overview
Task values are the predefined attributes that are applied to tasks when they’re created from a schedule. These values determine the content and properties of each task instance, such as priority, assignee, or other relevant fields.
Purpose of task values
The purpose of task values is to define what each generated task should contain. By specifying these values in advance, you avoid manual updates for every task instance and maintain consistency across all scheduled tasks.
Key characteristics
-
Task values are applied at the time of task creation.
-
They aren’t part of the schedule definition itself but define the tasks generated by the schedule.
-
Examples include priority, assigned user, location, and custom fields.
Why use task values
- Saves time by reducing repetitive manual edits.
- Maintains uniformity across recurring or scheduled tasks.
- Verifies that each task instance is created with the correct details.
Optional task values
You opt out of specifying task values when you create a schedule plan without specifying task values.
When task values aren’t specified, the generated tasks inherit their properties from the manufacturing standard itself. This option simplifies the setup process, especially for schedules that apply broadly across a production day or when the standard already contains all the necessary descriptive information.
