Using the Tasking Tool in IMSMANG

The tasking tool allows operations staff to create task dossiers by grouping useful information for planning and monitoring a task. The tasking tool includes hazards to be addressed (that is, the objective of the task) and work items such as surveys, clearances, MREs and QCs. Any other related information can be included in the binder.

Depending on local standard operating procedures (SOPs), the tasking tool can be used to manage activities for one hazard or several hazards, or for monitoring a specific organisation that was tasked.

The tasking tool automatically retrieves data from the associated work items to produce statistics. This includes cleared area size, devices found and hours spent.

All the compiled information related to the specified task can be viewed and printed from the task manager or the Task Editor window.

	Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, this sign next to a step is a reminder for you that you must right-click executables and choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
