Open - The Task Card is in 'Open' status. This is the most common status of a Task Card.

Cancel - The Cancel status is used if the Task Card must remain in the system but is not to be used. The system will not automatically Cancel Task Cards under any circumstances. If the user would like the Task Card to be completely removed from the system, the Task Card must be deleted using the Delete button (Engineering/Update/Task Card). The Cancel status will not prevent the Work Order from being closed, but the Work Order will have to be closed manually if any associated Task Cards hold the Cancel status.

Hold - The Task Card is on hold if it is postponed from being closed. The status must be changed out of Hold in order for the Work Order to be closed.

If no aircraft are effective, "NONE" will be displayed. If A/C Effectivity is set to 'All' and the currently logged in user only has security access to specific aircraft, Effectivity will display as 'Partial'.

None - Indicates that no aircraft from the entire fleet is effective. The setting for Switch TCEFFECT indicates that the dynamic Task Card effectivity is not being used or that the Task Card is not effective to any tail numbers.
