Activity tags (field view)

How to edit and status activity tags when using Visual Planner on a mobile or tablet device. 

Overview 

On mobile devices such as phone or tablet, activity tags appear in a streamlined daily task format. While mobile users cannot create new tags, they can double tap a tag to open an edit interface where they can update the details, status and document conditions. 

Update a task

To update a specific day’s task tag:  

  1. Double-click the tag. 
  2. Edit the following fields:  
    • Task name  
    • Details  
    • Crew size — defined during tag creation (1–99)  
    • Actual crew size — updated during status review (1–99)  
    • Tag status — tracks the progress and completion of daily tasks. When a task is completed, the owner of the activity marks the task as done. A supervisor confirms this by marking it as closed. When it has not been completed, not done is selected, the tag tilts and a reason for variance[link to reasons for variance section is selected. The task tag status can be:  
      • None  
      • Not done — triggers reason for variance drop-down list  
      • Done — shows a single stroke  
      • Closed — shows an X

Note: Reason for variance. When a task is marked as not done, a built-in drop-down list will appear with the reasons to choose from. Plan administrators can customize the list of reasons.

Mark a task as not done  

Sometimes, work doesn’t get done and it’s important to understand the reason. To mark a tag as not done:  

  • A drop-down list will appear. Select the reason for variance in the list provided.  
    • The task will now be marked as incomplete and flagged for follow-up.

Note: You can also add a constraint to the task. The tags in the activity and any dependent activities will show an alert that there is a constraint on getting the work done. The constraint will appear in the constraint log.
