This activity allows you to define the various types for classification of the tasks and standard procedures that can be defined for carrying out maintenance activities in an organization.
Select the “Define Task Types” link under the “Task” business component.
The “Define Task / Procedure Types” page appears.
Enter the following fields in the”Types” multiline:
|
Type |
The unique identifier for the task or standard procedure type (Alphanumeric, 30). Mandatory. This field can be a combination of characters and numbers and cannot be left blank. Once created, this field cannot be modified. |
|
Desc. |
The textual description of the task or standard procedure type (Alphanumeric, 150). |
|
Status |
Use the drop-down list box to set the status of the type. The system provides the options “Active” and “Inactive”. Set the status to “Inactive” to disable the type from future reference in other activities. The system sets the status to “Active”, if you leave the field blank. |
|
Seq. No. |
The sequence in which the type should be listed in other activities where task type is used (Integer). Ensure that the sequence number is a positive integer and is unique in the multiline. |
If you have left the sequence number blank for all the multiline rows, the system rearranges the multiline rows in the alphabetical order of type and automatically assigns a sequence number to each of them, in multiples of five, on clicking the "Submit” pushbutton.
Note: If you have left the sequence number blank for some of the multiline rows, the system arranges those rows in the alphabetical order of type, and considers these rows to be the last in the sequence. The system then rearranges the rows in the ascending order of the sequence number and renumbers the rows with multiples of five.
The system displays the following fields in the multiline:
|
Last Mod. By |
The login ID of the user, who last modified the task or standard procedure type. |
|
Last Mod. Date |
The date on which the type was last modified. |
|
Last Mod. Time |
The time at which the type was last modified. |
|
Created By |
The login ID of the user who created the type. |
|
Created Date |
The date on which the type was created. |
|
Created Time |
The time at which type was created. |
Click the “Submit” pushbutton to create or update the modified details of the task and standard procedure types.
Note: The system creates the task or standard procedure types and generates the sequence numbers for those rows for which the sequence number has not been specified. In the multiline, the system displays the created and modified date and time, and the name of the user who created or modified the task or standard procedure type.
