Revision as of 00:00, 22 January 2013
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.
Work items can be updates or progress reports, planned or completed hazard reductions or QC/QA or MRE activities reporting on indicators that automatically update the Statistics tab.
Enter a work item ID or work item name to enable the OK button.
Select the Related Information tab in the Task Editor window.
Select auxiliary data, a field report item or a task.
Tasks allow you to manage work that is required as part of your mine action process. You can link tasks to standard IMSMA items or to specific areas on the map, assign task objectives and sub-tasks (called work items), and record other work-related information such as start and end dates, available resources, responsible personnel, and status changes.
