Task Management / Task Maintenance / Operator Task Allocation [TIL004]

This module allows you to link specific tasks to specific operators. In practical terms, this means you can dictate whether an operator should or should not perform a certain task. For instance, if you have Pickers on the floor, you can prevent them from engaging in tasks such as put-aways that are outside their designated responsibilities.

This is usually required when the task script (under the Trigger Maintenance screen) was not configured to pre-assign a task to a user. The Administrator must first give the user permission to fetch tasks on the HTML5 Task List.
