File > New > New Task... (Summit/TM)The File > New > New Task command is used to create one or more new tasks within a given task domain. Multiple tasks are created when a task template is used that has relationships to other templates.
When you choose this command, the New Task dialog box appears. This dialog can also be invoked from some other dialogs such as the Set Current Tasks dialog. The new tasks are not actually created until either the OK or Apply buttons are pressed. Task ids for the new tasks are generated using the task id generation policies of the specified task domain and the task kinds.
Tasks and task management are described in Using Summit/TM.
New Task Dialog Box Fields:
Domain Field
The task domain in which to create the new task. Initially displays the default task domain. The Navigator icon can be used to locate some other task domain. The Alternatives icon displays the domains in the task domain path.
Parent Field
The parent task (if any) for the new task. By default, a new task will have no parent task unless one is specified by the template used. The Navigator icon invokes the Select Tasks dialog which can be used to search for the desired parent task. The Alternatives icon displays the tasks in the user's "to do" task list with their Summary fields.
Kind Field
The task kind of the new task. The Alternatives icon lists only those task kinds which are supported by the given task domain as defined by the domain's kind path. The default value for this field is just the first task kind on the domain's kind path.
Template Field
The task template which will be used to define the initial values of the new task's fields. If the template has relationships with other templates, tasks corresponding to each of the related templates (transitively) are also created. The created tasks are related to one another in the same way as the corresponding templates.
The Alternatives icon lists only those task templates which are supported by the given task kind as defined by the task kind's template path.
The default value for this field is just the first task template on the task kind's template path.
Name Field
Specifies an optional name to be included in each new task id. The task kind policy switch file (for each kind of task created) must have an Id_Format field that includes the <user_id> element. When a task id is formed, the specified name is substituted for this element.
