Task configuration
Table of contents
Overview
To schedule a task, first select the task
button on the left sidebar navigation tab. Here, the tasks are divided into active
and inactive
sections. The active
tasks represents all the tasks currently scheduled for sampling.
Create a new task
New task can be created by clicking on the button on the top. Next, enter the name you would like to identify the task. Please note that the name must be unique from other tasks in the system. Next, click the OK
button (or press enter
) to submit to task name for verification. If there is no conflict, a new task will be populated under inactive
section.
Rescheduling and modifying tasks
If you want to rerun a task you can schedule an inactive task (If changes are made you’ll have to save the task first).
After a task runs, the assigned valves become greyed-out. Under the utilities tab, use “reset valves” if you want to use a valve again.
If you want to make changes to a scheduled task, you have to unschedule it first.
