Task Menu

New Task...

Opens the Task Definition Form to allow you to define a new task.

EditTask...

Opens the Task Definition Form to allow you to edit an existing task.

Task Group Editor...

Opens the Task Group Editor to allow you to create and delete task groups.

Lock/Override

Locks a selected task so that its assignment will not change if the scenario is deconflicted. If no task is selected, a form will open that will allow you to choose one or more unlocked tasks to lock. All unlocked tasks will be scheduled around any locked tasks.

A task may only be locked if it is assigned.

A user-scheduled locked task that violates task or resource constraints may cause the scheduling algorithms to propagate rule violations beyond the locked task into the rest of the schedule solution.

Unlock

Removes the locks on any selected and locked task allowing its schedule time and resource usage to possibly change the next time the scenario is deconflicted. If no task is selected, a form will open that will allow you to choose one or more locked tasks to unlock.

Shift Assignments...

Allows you to shift a task by your specified time interval.

Assign...

Assigns the selected task during the selected timeslot. If no task is selected a popup allowing you to select a task will be displayed. If no timeslot is selected or if the timeslot selected overlaps with another timeslot the Task Assignment Editor will be displayed with only the overlapping timeslots shown. You may then select the appropriate possibility and even manually edit the assigned times if necessary.

Unassign

Changes the status of any selected assigned tasks to unassigned. If no task is selected, a form will open that will allow you to choose a task to unassign.

Hide

The selected task is not displayed on the Gantt or Table view but is still included in scheduling runs, uses resources, is listed in reports, may be edited, and is in all other aspects treated like any other task.

UnHide

Allows you to select a hidden task(s) and specify that it should be unhidden (displayed) on the STK Scheduler Gantt view.

Defer

Unassigns a selected task (if it has been assigned) and flags it as deferred so that it may not be assigned again until it is undeferred. If no task is selected, a form will open that will allow you to choose one or more undeferred tasks to defer.

Undefer

Makes selected deferred task(s) available for assignment. If no task is selected, a form will open that will allows you to choose one or more deferred tasks to undefer.

Priority Convention

Opens the Task Priority Tab of the Schedule Properties Form to allow you to define the task priority range and importance conventions.
