Editing a Task Book
- You can edit the tasks and procedures in an existing Task Book by opening the Task Book, clicking in the field you want to change, and typing in your changes. Click Save at the bottom of the page. These changes will apply to any schedule linked to the Task Book and will be seen on future work orders created by those schedules. *Note: If a Task Book is edited, you will see the date and time that it was last updated at the top of the Tasks and Procedures list.
- To delete a task, click on the trash can icon next to it.
