Tasks

The Tasks section displays all Tasks associated to the selected Equipment Type.

Last Done Dates per Task can also be updated from this section, by clicking on the link for each Task. When a Last Done Date is updated the Next Due Date and Overdue Date is automatically calculated upon saving the modification.

Properties are not mandatory, but instead are an option that users can use to associate Equipment Types either at the Equipment Type Category level or at the Equipment Type Description level. Once the Properties are setup in the Maintain Property table, go to the Equipment Type table to link the now defined Properties to the corresponding Equipment Types. Refer to Maintain Properties for additional information.
