Ad hoc tasks

To address one-time administration tasks you can manually create ad hoc tasks. In Maintenix, ad hoc tasks are tasks that are not created based on task definitions.

For example, if you receive a notification that there are some data discrepancies in Maintenix involving an asset with a planned maintenance visit, you can create a one-time administrative task for a mechanic to read and record the correct serial numbers found on an asset.

Depending on your permissions, there are different ways in Maintenix where a maintenance controller, technician, or other role can create an ad hoc task:

On the Fleet List, Preview Release, or Edit Inventory task pages, click Create Task.
On the Inventory Details page, Open Tasks tab, click Create Task.
On the Work Package Details page, on either the Workscope tab or Tasks tab, click Create New Task.
On the Task Details page, Task Execution tab, Subtasks area, click the plus sign to Create a New Ad Hoc Subtask.
