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).

Scheduling inactive task

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.

Valve status monitoring

If you want to make changes to a scheduled task, you have to unschedule it first.
