Starting Tasks

A work order task can be only started when:

1. In Ready status (work order is started and all task dependencies have been resolved).
2. In Pending status, if Can Start Without Dependencies flag is checked which also allows bypassing task dependencies.

It is possible to start a task from multiple locations:

From tasks list views

This option can be used to start task from My Tasks or other list views and works on a single task or a bulk selection:

1. Select Work Orders Task from the app launcher, home page, or the top menu.
2. Select the list view (e.g., Engineering, My Tasks or others).
3. Select multiple tasks using checkboxes on the left side.
4. Click Start action button on the right side above the list:

From task details

This option is typically used when task details have already been opened (e.g., as a search result):

1. Open task detail view.
2. Choose Start action the top right side of the view.

From work order execution chart

Task operations are also available from the work order execution chart:

1. Open a work order (or any task in the work order) and select the Execution Chart tab.
2. Make sure that the execution chart is in Kanban or List mode.
3. Check tasks to start.
4. Select Start from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the chart.
