How To : User Tasks for Incidents and Measurements

User tasks can be created from Incidents and from Measurements and assigned to Users or User Groups. The User Task is either linked to an Incident or to a Measurement.

Setup

To track the % Complete of the User Task a % Complete Milestone option has been added to the Quality Management setups. This list shows the standard Milestones and can be completed with a percentage. When a User Task reaches any of these Milestones the % Complete on the User Task is updated accordingly:

Milestone Description Complete %
Incident Created Incident created 10
Measurement Created Measurement created 20
Checksheet Completed Checksheet completed 50
Checksheet Re-test Checksheet re-test 30
Accepted Measurement Registered Accepted measurement registered 100
Rejected Measurement Registered Rejected measurement Registered 60
Follow-up Completed Follow-up completed 70
Incident Closed Incident closed 100

Notes:

  • The percentages in this table are shown as a suggestion only.
  • These milestones have been created as Enums and can be extended to be customer specific.

Incident User Tasks

Incident User Tasks must be created manually from an Incident with the Create User Task action. Once created the User Task can be opened with the User Task action. Each Incident can have only 1 User Task.

Measurement User Tasks

Measurement User Tasks can be created automatically and assigned to a specific inspector:

  • On the Measurement Template set Automatic Create User Task to On.
  • Select a, default, Inspector User Name.
  • Alternatively select a User Task Group.

Instead of the Measurement Template an Inspector User Name, or a User Task Group can set on the Target Template for Items, etc.
In this way the assignments of Inspectors can be made more specific. This setting overrides the default Inspector User Name on the Measurement Template.

Note: Inspector User Name and User Task Group can't be set both, it is one or the other.

When a Measurement is created from a Measurement Template with these settings also the User Task is created. The User Task is linked to the Measurement with the % Complete set to what has been specified for the Milestone "Measurement Created". The % Complete will be updated automatically with the % from the Milestones.
When the Measurement is accepted and registered the Incident is closed which means also the User Task % Complete is set to 100%.
The Measurement continues as a Registered Measurement and the Task Item is updated accordingly.

Confirmation Message

The creation of the User Task is confirmed by a message: A User Task for a Measurement has been created. Do you want to open the User Task? Yes/No
This message is controlled with a setting in My Notifications: STAEDEAN Show User Task Notification. With this setting the message can be switched on or off.
