On the Job Task form, validate the specific job tasks performed by employees at your facility. Examples of job tasks are "change filter bag" or "load tank cars". A job task code can be designated for each job task; this might be a numerical representation or abbreviation of the job task. For example, the code "UTC" may be associated with the "unload tank cars" job task. If both a job task and a job task code are defined, the values are concatenated after the record is saved. When viewing a list of job tasks on other forms in Essential, the concatenated list can be sorted by job task or by job task code.
Associate job tasks with entities in the Applicable Enterprise Entities section on the Job Task form. Job tasks can also be assigned to work areas and exposure sessions on the Work Areas and Exposure Sessions forms. The relationship of a job task to work areas or exposure sessions can be viewed in the Related Work Areas and Related Exposure Sessions sections on the Job Task form. This information is useful for recordkeeping.
The Job Task Quick Create form can be used to efficiently validate several job tasks, job task codes, and default descriptions at once. (To access the form, click the Job Task Quick Create link.) Job tasks still need to be associated with entities in the Applicable Enterprise Entities section on the Job Task form.
For each job task, equivalent entries in different languages can be defined. When localization has been implemented, the Culture setting assigned to a user determines which value is displayed in field lists on Essential forms. Enter the corresponding job tasks and associate each one with the appropriate language in the Language Dependent Job Task section.
