The Task Details page enables you to define and update task information for both lowest-level and summary tasks. It enables you to:
Define general task information
Associate cost codes, if cost breakdown planning is enabled for the project.
Manage the task schedule.
Define effort and work quantity.
Track cost and earned value.
Define task dependencies.
Create and manage resource assignments.
Define and maintain task deliverables.
Set up task financial attributes, enable task execution workflow, link tasks to other projects, and create task/project associations.
The work item value, unit of measure, actual work quantity entry method, and additional information page layout for the task are defaulted from its task type.
You can redefine basic task information, including the task status and task type. When you change the task type, the system automatically applies the attributes of the new task type to the task.
Note: You cannot use the Task Details page to change Task Status values for tasks that have progress tracked against them. You have to use the Task Progress page to change task status for such tasks.
