The remaining fields can be updated to create a new Custom task.
- Task code – must be a unique identifier for the task to be created.
- Task type – this field will be greyed out, but the type will be CUSTOM by default.
- Task Name – as you have copied a SYSTEM task, that task name will appear in this field, but you are able to update this according to the new task you are creating.
- MHE – are a drop-down list where you can select a specific Material Handling Type.
- Est. Time – refer to the total number of minutes it will require the Operator to complete the task.
- Application – this is a drop-down with a list of all modules from which tasks can be created for.
- UserDef. – this is a free text field that can be used to store any custom field that is required.
- Description – click on the Edit link to edit the existing description of the task you copied.
Select Save to save the new Custom task.
An illustrative instance of configuring a custom task can involves linking a custom module to a designated HTML5 module and generating corresponding tasks within this context.
Once saved the data grid will update with the newly created Custom task.

CUSTOM tasks will have an Edit link under the Action column, as where SYSTEM tasks will only have a Copy link.
When selecting the Edit link, the Edit Task pop-out window will appear, and the fields can be updated if required.

Select the Save button again, if more changes are made.
Once the Custom task has been created, the task must be linked with a System Trigger. For more information, refer to Enabling Scripts via the System Trigger module

Creating a new Task can also be done from the Task Master List, under Task Management.
Hover over the Create button, to open the Create menu.
