{{Reference guide header|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.

The Tasking tool allows Operations staff at National Mine Action Authorities to create Task (dossiers) by grouping useful information for planning and monitoring a Task. Tasks are created by selecting which Land are the Objective(s) of the Task and then plan how to address the Objective(s). The plan consists of Work item(s). Different Work items may be assigned to different Organisations and addressed with different methods and assets/tools.

When the planned Work item is conducted and the Organisation has reported then it is possible to link one Activity, Assistance, Education or QM reports to the Work item. This functionality will facilitate comparison between plan and end-result. Work items may also be used as input to donor / project reporting.

On the Related information it is possible to link other Items or Auxiliary data that are either helpful for the Task planning or for the planning and/or execution of the Work item for the executing Organisation.

Similar to items, Tasks can be customised to include CDFs.

Note.jpg Tasks are not created or updated by using Data Entry Forms or 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.
