Construction Tasks Dialog

Used to display the list of all the construction tasks. Construction tasks enable work package development at the level of weekly work plans. The Construction Tasks pane contains a tree view of the tasks associated with the various types of components contained in the VCM. The type of tasks varies depending on the discipline to which the component belongs. For instance, tasks for piping components will be different from tasks for structural components.

When you expand the organizer node (folder icon) for the specific discipline, you see the tasks (clipboard icon) associated with that discipline.

When you click a node in the tree, its attributes display in the Attributes window. You cannot add or remove nodes from this tree.

By default, the Construction Tasks dialog is docked to the left side of the application window. Also opens when you select Work Package > Construction Tasks from the ConstructSim menu.
