Project template tasks (PM208010)

Den här artikeln ger dig information om elementen du ser i det här fönstret i Visma.net ERP, till exempel fält, fältvärden, knappar och kryssrutor.

You can use this window to create tasks for project templates.
If the Automatically include in project check box is selected for the template task, it will be included in any created project that uses the associated project template.

If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view.

There are two types of search fields:

  • White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or % and get different results:

    • space: the result contains the words in any order,

    • %: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the % functions as a wildcard as well.

  • Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.

You use the elements in this area to add a new template task, or to view the details of an existing template task.
