==Introduction==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Tasking tool allows Mine Action Programmes to perform Task planning and tracking within {{IMSMANG}}. Tasks are created by selecting objectives Objectives (Land) and then plan work items (Activities, AssistanvceAssistance, Education activities and QMs) to it. Any other related information to the item All Auxiliary data and all items can as well be included in the Taskas Related Information.
Using the Tasking Tool, operation managers can group items together for assigning mine action responsibilities issuing to different organisations and for project tracking purposes (gaining approval, conducting and monitoring).
Similar to other items, Tasks can be customised to include CDFs. Tasks, however, are somewhat different from other items in that they are entered and modified directly in {{IMSMANG}} without using Data Entry Forms or the approval process. This means that historical data about Tasks is not tracked (except for status change) and any updates made to Tasks automatically replace previous data. This provides a simplified mechanism for tracking short-term task data in addition to the traditional Data Entry Form method for other items.
