Task Management

The user interface for the task management page was changed to use “Bootstrap”.  Hence it looks different.  However the behaviour of the page also changed quite significantly.

Task Management Page

These changes are:

  • Tasks located at location 0,0 are no longer shown on the map. They are assumed to be tasks without location.
  • You can add ad-hoc tasks to existing task groups.
  • Ad-hoc tasks can be created without specifying a location
  • Tasks selected on the map are also selected in the tables and vice versa

For more information on using the updated tasks interface refer to the training material in https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5_SmpWlQYxvbHBCLW0ySkw2Z3M/edit.
