Chapter 39. Tasks
The Tasks tab allows you to add, view and edit all of the scheduled tasks, either manually created, or
linked to your scheduling software (e.g. Microsoft Project™). Selections in the model can then be
attached to Tasks. Relinking a task to an external schedule will prompt you to select a link via the Select
Link Dialog.
39.1. The Tasks Tab
The Tasks tab shows all of the tasks in your schedule, listed in a multi-column format.
The columns show, task name; start date; end date; planned start date; planned end date; task type;
whether any objects from the model are attached to the task; whether the task is linked to an external
schedule; index of task in external schedule; and unique ID of task in external schedule.
An icon is displayed to the left of each task. These identify the current status of the task, with relation to
attached items and links to external schedules:
Task with no attached items
Task with attached items
Task with link synchronized to external schedule
Task with link synchronized to external schedule,
including Task Type
Task with link to external schedule that is either
broken or old (unsynchronized)

to create, edit and check the tasks in your schedule:
