Work Task Steps

Introduction

Simply put, a Work Task tells the tech what to do, where to do it, how long it should take, and sometimes what tools or materials are needed.

These are individual jobs or steps a field technician or crew needs to complete as part of a larger Work Order.

Work Task Steps:

  • Identify individual items to complete as part of a Work Task.

  • Are optional and can have as many Work Task Steps as needed.

  • Use the Craft and Labor Rate from the Work Task.
