Overview

What Is a Task?

A Task represents work that needs to be completed. Unlike Locations or Assets, Tasks move through an active workflow from creation to completion while documenting the work performed along the way.

Assigned Work

Assign work to users or groups responsible for completing the task.

Connected Work

Connect tasks to locations, assets, assemblies, and assigned users so work stays tied to the right records.

Maintenance History

Completed tasks become part of the maintenance history for the records involved.

Task Center

Manage Tasks From One Place

The Task Center is the primary workspace for viewing, assigning, scheduling, reviewing, completing, and organizing work across your organization.

What You Can Do

Search tasks, manage assignments, schedule field work, build routes, review submitted work, and open task records from one central workspace.

Permanent Maintenance History

Once a task has been completed and approved when required, it becomes part of the permanent maintenance history for every connected record, creating a searchable history of work performed across your organization.

1

Create Task

A task is created and assigned to the appropriate user or team.

2

Complete & Review

Work is performed, notes and files are added, and the task is completed or approved.

3

Maintenance History

The completed task becomes a permanent historical record connected to every related location, asset, assembly, and assigned user.

Why Tasks Matter

Coordinate Work From Start to Finish

Tasks do more than assign work. They organize operations, guide users through completion, document field activity, and preserve a complete history of everything that was done.

Plan

Schedule work, assign users, and organize field operations.

Perform

Complete work using task-specific forms while adding notes, files, and photos.

Review

Approve completed work, request revisions, or generate invoices before closing the task.

Preserve History

Keep a permanent maintenance history connected to the locations, assets, assemblies, and users involved.
