Start Work Task
Explanation
You start a work task to indicate that work on the task or fault is about
to commence. You can start a task on the Task Details
page, My Work page, Aircraft Turn
Details page, and the Work Tasks
tab, if the task has been assigned to you.
If you accidentally start working on a task, you can undo it by clicking
Unstart.
You can only unstart tasks that you started, and tasks for which parts,
tools, measurements, or actions have not been signed.
If you start a task that has already been started by another technician
in offline mode, the start date and time of the earliest technician will
remain as the start date and time for the task and the work package. Also,
you cannot complete the task until the work completed by the earlier
technician is signed off.
Prerequisites
- The status of the task is Active.
- The status of the fault is Open or Deferred.
System Effects
- The status of the task changes to In Work.
- The Actual Start of the task on the
Task Details page is updated with the date and time on
which the task was started.
- If the work package or none of the tasks in the work package have
been started, starting work on any task in the work package starts the
work package as well.
- If the task you unstarted is the only task in the work package
in the In Work status and there are no other tasks in
Completed or In Work status, the task,
work package, and aircraft turn status changes as follows when you
unstart the task.
- Task status: In work to Active
- Work package status: In Work to the previous
status: Active or Committed
- Aircraft turn status: In Maintenance to
the previous status: Inbound or Arrived
- If the task you unstarted is not the only task in the work
package in the In Work status and there are other tasks in
Completed or In Work status in the work
package, the task status changes from In Work to
Active.
