Task Information

You use this screen to add or modify tasks.

The Task Information Screen is divided in two main areas:

The upper section of the screen is the same for all tabs, and includes the following information.

ID – The unique task identifier. When you add a task, the ID is automatically created.

Note: You can't change this field unless Allow task ID's to be changed is checked in Advanced project settings.
Name – The task name. Typically, this is created automatically by DTS or a partner application (such as Studio UG or OP), but you can change this. The Name doesn't have to be unique to the project.
Type – The type of task. See Task Types.
Description – Something describing the task. Edit this if you need to.

Below the header section, you can configure more detailed settings using dedicated tabs, including:

Task Information: General – Enter basic information for the task.
Task Information: Dependencies – Define dependency methods and summarize information about predecessors and successors for the selected task.
Task Information: Resources – Assign resources to the selected task.
Task Information: Distribution – Control the splitting of tasks over time.
Task Information: Production Fields – View values of the task production fields, if they have been defined.
Task Information: Code/Text Fields – View values of the task text and code fields, if they have been defined.
