Task Group Editor

Scheduler has a form to manage Task Groups. The default Task Group Editor allows you to define groups of tasks with "N of M" scheduling relationships. Three options are available for task groups:

"NA" - This option specifies no scheduling requirement between tasks in the group.
"All" - This option specifies that all tasks in the group be included, otherwise none of them will be.
"N of <Integer>" - This option specifies that a minimum number (set by the integer value) of tasks from the group be included or none of them will be. The value must be 1 or greater.

Search String

Typing the first few letters of a Task Group name will scroll the Task Group List to the first Task Group that starts with those letters.

Task Group List

The Task Group List contains a list of all the stored Task Groups in the schedule. Selecting a Task Group will load it's attributes for editing. The new attributes will only be saved when the Update button is clicked.

Task Group Name Textbox

The task group name is a user-defined identifier for the task group. STK Scheduler will use the task group's name as its identifier in all necessary user interfaces. Each task group in a scenario must have a unique name. For the task group name, use only letters A through z, numbers 0 through 9, Parenthesis (), brackets [], underscores _ , dashes - , and spaces.

Create New Task Group Button

Creates a new Task Group in memory. The Task Group will not be saved until the Update button is clicked.

Delete Button

Clicking Delete deletes a Task Group permanently. Deleting a group removes any group scheduling constraints associated with it.

Cancel Button

Clicking Cancel closes the Task Group Editor form without saving the attributes of the task group.

Update Button

Clicking Update accepts any changes to the task group being edited or saves a new task group.

Available Tasks Listbox

The available tasks listbox contains a list of all the tasks that can be associated with a task group.

Included Tasks Listbox

The included tasks listbox contains a list of all the tasks that are associated with a task group.

Add Button

The Add button moves a selected task from the available tasks listbox into the not included tasks listbox thereby associating a task with the group. A task may be associated with multiple task groups.

Remove Button

The remove button moves a selected task from the included tasks listbox into the available tasks listbox thereby disassociating a task with the group.
