User Permissions Note: You must have at least User level access in order to use the Task Editor tool. View and Status users will not have access to the Task Editor.
Below are the main features of the task editor.
Task ID
Displays the Task ID of the current task. This field will be blank when multiple tasks are selected in the Multi-Task Editor.
This represents the color of the task. It is configured to display the Company color or the Discipline color of the Member assigned to the task. Those color values are defined by Premium users for the entire project.
A team is required to create work plans and track Percent Planned Complete (PPC). A team is simply a tag. You associate team members with a team implicitly when you assign a team to the tasks that are assigned to those team members.
Component: represents a main structure or building. Components can host Floors, Elevations, and Zones.
Elevation: represents a vertical location. For example, a specific building elevation such as East Elevation.
Floor: represents a horizontal location. For example, a floor or mezzanine.
Zone: represents a work area. Zones can span multiple floors or elevations. They are abstract representation of locations and require diagrams to represent them fully.
Department: the name given to a group of spaces. Departments can span multiple floors.
