Task Card Description

Note: For Panel Open and Close Task Cards, the description of the Task Card will always default to the one defined using the Production Switches PNLTCOPEN and PNLTCCLOSE.

Note: The Description field can contain up to 2,000 characters.

Status

The current status of the Task Card. The status of the Task Card is helpful in determining the stage the Task Card is at with regard to it's completion. Ultimately, the completion of the Task Cards will result in the closing of the Work Order.

Note: Task Cards cannot be re-Opened once the associated W/O Engineering Control has been reset. However, Non-Routine Task Cards can be re-opened if the W/O E/C has been reset.

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.

Rejected - The Task Card has been Rejected.

Pending - The Task Card is in Pending status. This is the initial status of a Task Card upon creation. Once the initial revision has been authorized, the status changes from 'Pending' to 'Open.'
