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:
- Double-click the tag.
- 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.
- 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.
