Add a task using the Task box

Procedure

1. Open a schedule in Schedule Manager.

2. Select an existing task. The new task is inserted directly below (at the same level of) the currently selected task.

3. Enter the task name in the Task box at the top of the task table.

   Note: You cannot restrict the task name length to 32 characters with the TC_Allow_Longer_ID_Name preference.

4. In the Work box, enter the task work. You can specify the task work in weeks, days, or hours by adding the w, d, or h suffix to the value. You can also enter decimal values for task work, e.g. 12.5h.

   The default task work is displayed in h (hours) and the default value is 8. Regardless of the suffix specified, Schedule Manager converts and displays the task work in hours.

5. Click Create.

The task defaults as starting on the current day and lasting for the same duration as the specified task work. For example, 40h entered in step 4 is used for both 40h work and a 40h duration.
