Reviewing Changes Applied to a Standard Task from a Task Template

When the task template planner has finished editing the template, he or she can apply the changes to the standard tasks. When the changes are applied, APM flags each standard task that changed, records the list of changes, and notifies the planner of each standard task that changes have occurred. This allows the standard task’s planners to review each change and to ensure that the task definition is still appropriate for the selected asset.

Note: If the task template planner is the same person as the standard task planner, APM does not send an email or change the standard task status to “needs review.”

After the standard task planner has reviewed the changes that were made to the standard task, he or she can acknowledge the change to clear the “needs review” status. If any of the changes are not appropriate for the standard task, the planner must make the necessary changes (overrides) in the standard task.

This section explains how to review and acknowledge changes applied to a standard task from a template.

To Review Changes Applied to a Standard Task from a Template

1.	Open the standard task, select the History view and the Task tab.

2.	Select the Applied Template Changes tab.

Note: The template changes displayed on this tab list changes that were made prior to APM version 7.1. All template changes made from version 7.1 and later are included in the audit history for the various standard task classes.

3.	Select the To be acknowledged table configuration. The table lists the template changes that have been applied to the standard task.

4.	Review and select each change and then click Acknowledge. APM removes the “needs review” status from the standard task.
