| − | ==Introduction==__NOEDITSECTION__
| |
| − | The Tasking tool allows Mine Action Programmes to perform Task planning and tracking within {{IMSMANG}}. Tasks are created by selecting Objectives (Land) and then plan work items (Activities, Assistance, Education activities and QMs) to it. All Auxiliary data and all items can be included in the Task as Related Information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Using the Tasking Tool, operation managers can group items together for issuing to different organisations and for project tracking purposes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Similar to items, Tasks can be customised to include CDFs. Tasks, however, are somewhat different from 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.
