Predefined values such as "NEW", "IN PROGRESS", "DONE", or "CANCELLED" are available. The status can be adjusted again during the subsequent processing workflow.

When entering a first or last name, a user selection from the system is offered (auto-completion). Depending on the permission settings, only the authorized group of persons is displayed.

Typical Workflows

Task assignment in device context: A new task is created by entering the inventory, e.g., for repair, maintenance, or calibration.

Scheduling and responsibility assignment: Date, time, and recipient enable precise temporal and organizational planning.

After saving, automatic email or system notifications can be triggered to the recipient. The recipient assignment can be extended with escalation logic or substitution rules.
