Editing task details – An overview

This page allows you to modify the details of the selected task. Tasks that are in “Fresh”, “Active” and “Inactive” status can be modified. You have to provide a revision number for the task every time when the task is modified. While modifying the task that are in the “Active” status the task changes to the fresh status. The task can be modified without changing the revision number and status through “Maintain Activated Tasks” activity under ‘Maintenance Task’ business component.

Details such as the status, task description, revision number, category, type, applicability, task reference details, the associated ATA chapter, DSC number, estimated time and man-hours required for executing the task, and sub tasks can be modified. You can also use the “Task Help” and “DSC Help” page to retrieve the details of the task and the details of the dependent systems and their desired condition.

Note: The category, type and applicability details can be modified only for those tasks that are in “Fresh” status.

You can specify whether the modification of the task is suggested by an internal or external source. The system updates the details of the task and stores the name of the currently logged in user and server date.

What you can do in this page

Indicate the revision type
