From the Task Type drop down, select the type of task you wish this task to be. There are three
pre-defined task types, Construct, Demolish and Temporary. The task type defines how the items
attached to the task will be displayed during simulation; for example, a default construction sequence
would start with all items hidden, as the task starts the attached items will be displayed in transparent
green, then as the task ends the attached items will be displayed as they are in the normal model
display (this may be with materials applied if previously set up in JetStream Presenter). Task Types
themselves can be defined and new types created in the Configure tab.
Each task has it's own Status identified by an icon, representing planned against actual relationships:
Actual start and end dates equal Planned start
and end dates
Actual end date before Planned start date
Actual start date after Planned end date
Actual start date before Planned start date and
Actual end date after Planned end date
Actual start date before Planned start date and
Actual end date equals Planned end date
Actual start date equals Planned start date and
Actual end date after Planned end date
Actual start date equals Planned start date and
Actual end date before Planned end date
Actual start date after Planned start date and
Actual end date equals Planned end date
Actual start date before Planned start date and
Actual end date before Planned end date
Actual start date after Planned start date and
Actual end date after Planned end date
Actual start and end dates only
Planned start and end dates only
Note
The relevant Status icon will be automatically displayed based on the tasks actual and planned
start and end dates.
The check box in the Active column enables you to turn a task on/off. If a task is turned off, then it will
not appear in the simulation. For hierarchical tasks, turning off the parent task will automatically turn
off all child tasks.
JetStream TimeLiner supports a hierarchical task structure, as brought through from a link to your
scheduling software, e.g. Microsoft Project™ (see The Links Tab for more information). The hierarchy
can be expanded or contracted by clicking on the plus or minus sign, respectively, to the left of the
task.
