Reviewing and Removing Overrides on a Standard Task

You can override task template values on a standard task, for example, if some assets have different operating conditions, descriptions, or procedures. APM allows you to override some of the task template values on the standard task, while keeping the link to the rest of the task template properties.
APM tracks the changes (overrides) that have been made to a standard task that is based on a task template. If you wish, reset the standard task to the current values on the task template, removing the overrides.
This topic explains how to review the changes that have been made to the standard task and remove overrides. It also explains how to open a task template and remove overrides from the standard tasks based on the template.
