Initializing task definitions manually

Most task definitions are initialized during baseline synchronization, but you can initialize a task definition by using the Initialize button on the task definition's details page.

Buttons available on this view are as follows:

• Create Tasks: Manually create active (ACTV) actual task for the selected inventory/inventories (multiple inventory selection allowed) to which the task definition applies. Clicking this button redirects back to the Initialize Requirement page.

• Create Tasks and Set Deadlines: Manually create active (ACTV) actual task for the selected inventory to which the task definition applies. Clicking this button redirects to the Scheduling tab of the newly created actual task.

• Create Historical Task: Manually create historical (COMPLETE) actual task for the selected inventory to which the task definition applies. Clicking this button redirects to the Scheduling tab of the newly created actual task.

• Initialize as Not Applicable: Manually create actual task in non-applicable (N/A) status for the selected inventory/inventories (multiple inventory selection allowed) to which the task definition applies. Clicking this button redirects back to the Initialize Requirement page.

Maintenix does not allow users to manually initialize Master Panel Card tasks. Further, Reference Documents can only be initialized via the Initialize as Not Applicable as this process differs from how other task types are initialized. This can be done on the Initialize Reference Documents page.

The task definition's initialization page lists all applicable inventory items for which you can create actual tasks. Besides including details like root inventory, assembly, and position, the page displays the following details on the tasks in the task definition:
