Subtasks

Subtasks are tasks that have already been curated. Subtasks specifically, can be incoporated into a new task you are creating. Usage of a subtask allows for multiple tasks with identical parts to call to a subtask, eliminating the need to recreate the subtask. Subtasks also are connected to each other, therefore editing one subtask will affect every location that that subtasks is called. Below is an example of a component that has an inventory of subtasks that are called in connected products. Please note that column "Refs" refers to the amount of times that subtask has been called to.

To see more details about where the subtasks are being referenced, click into the subtask in question and go to the task details (Task details is found by clicking into the filing box icon). In task details, the referenced subtasks can be seen under "Referenced By:" on the right side of the task details.

When creating tasks, you can either build the step from scratch or you can call to a subtask that was previously created. Subtasks called can either be from the products expertise or from any of the components attached to that product. For example, when creating your "Diagnose" task in your product, you can call to any of your components subtasks such as "Software Diagnosis" created in Component #1 expertise. To learn how to incorporate subtasks into a task please go through the following instructions.

  1. Now you have incorporated a previously curated subtask into your new task. (Note: Selecting the subtask will expand the steps of that subtask)
