Understanding Task Trigger Settings

Each task on an asset's Task Schedule has its own customizable trigger. The trigger is what sets the task's schedule and its status changes. Tasks are not required to have a trigger and can also have more than one.

Tasks that do not have a trigger will always remain current with a green status, allowing a user to track task completion, faults, and meter readings.

To customize triggers from the New Task Modal or Edit Task Modal, you select the Task Type and Trigger Behavior from the two dropdown menus.

image.png

Task Type Option Explanation Table

Task Type

Explanation

Regular Task

This is the default task type.

Corrective Task

Corrective tasks are one-time actions, not reoccurring tasks. Because of this, there is no trigger selection to be made. When a Corrective Task Type is selected, the modal changes, removing the trigger dropdown menu and offering a checkbox selection "Deferred". When the Deferred checkbox is selected, the user will have the ability to defer the corrective task, giving it a blue status in the system.

Service Bulletin

Both the Service Bulletin and Directive Task Types are subjective. You organization can define and utilize them at your own discretion. They were designed to offer an ability to categorize tasks, but do not differ in functionality than the default, Regular Task.

Directive

Regular Tasks, Service Bulletins and Directives offer an ability to customize the trigger behavior. Trigger behavior defines what is required to trigger a change in task status. The variety trigger behaviors utilized by KAStrack are explained in the table below.

Trigger Behavior Option Explanation Table

Trigger

Explanation

Hits When any Trigger is Met

Allows any parameter, a calendar date or meter usage interval, to fulfill the requirement.

Hits When All Triggers are Met

Requires all parameters are met to fulfill the requirement (could be multiple calendar dates, multiple meter usage intervals, or some combination of the two).

Follows Another Task's Schedule

When selected, the parameter used to fulfill the requirement is based on when the original (followed) task’s trigger is altered. This trigger behavior attaches one task to another.

Copy Another Task's Schedule

When selected, the new/edited trigger will utilize another tasks schedule to define its own, simplifying the setup process. That two task are independent of each other once copied.

Once a Task Type is selected and the trigger behavior is defined, the frequency of the trigger can be customized by selecting the plus sign icon to the right of the Trigger dropdown menu. Trigger frequency is based on a period designation and parameter definition (time or meter usage). There are a variety of Period options that can be utilized when customizing your task's trigger settings. Each are explained in the table below.

A detailed explanation of how to complete the New or Edit Task Modal for each of the customizable Period / Parameter combinations has been included in the table also.

Trigger Period Option Explanation Table

Period

Explanation

Every

When the trigger is set to "Every" the timer or meter will reset when the task is completed.


How To: Customize Trigger Settings with an Every Period

Before Task

A "Before Task" trigger requires this task to be completed before the task identified by a drop down menu.


The task selected in the drop down menu will be locked out until this task is completed.


How To: Customize Trigger Settings Based on Pre-Existing Tasks

It is possible for a task’s trigger to be based on the schedule of another pre-existing task within the same asset tree.   

It is not possible to follow or copy another task’s schedule if the original task has an “on expiry” trigger.

Trigger Behavior: Follow Another Task’s Schedule

When a trigger’s behavior is set to “Follow another task’s schedule,” the original task and new task are now linked.

image.png

If the trigger for the task selected is altered, the trigger for the task following it will be altered as well.

Trigger Behavior: Copy Another Task’s Schedule

When a trigger’s behavior is set to “Copy another task’s schedule,” the two tasks function independently of each other.

image.png

If the schedule for the copied trigger is altered, it has no impact on the task schedule just created. This option allows the user to efficiently duplicate task schedules with ease.


On Expiry

An on-expiry trigger gives the user the ability to input the next due date (vs auto-calculating it like the other triggers based on task completion) when completing the task.


How To: Customize Trigger Settings Based on an On Expiry Period

Triggers with an On Expiry period can only have a time parameter.

An on-expiry trigger gives the user the ability to input the next due date (vs auto-calculating it like the other triggers based on task completion) when completing the task.

Input a numerical value for the task to renew and select the appropriate units (Days, Weeks, Months, or Years).

Use the dropdown menu to establish if the new expiry is calculated from the Last Expiry Date or Task Performed Date.

The user can select to pad the autofill to the end of the nearest Month, Quarter, 6 Months, Year, or to not pad the autofill.

Enter a numerical value to Turn Red ___ days before expiry.

Enter a numerical value to Warn ___ days before turning red.
